Question:

Where is Copper Found in Australia?

hello i'd like to know where copper is found in AUS and HOW

Answer:

Copper in Australia is mined in the Northern Territory and all of the states except for Victoria. In Australia, copper is mainly found as the mineral chalcopyrite in rocks that are more than 250 million years old. Other less commonly occurring minerals that contain copper are azurite and malachite. Copper is sometimes found in its pure form, which is called native copper. How? By excavaters.
