Thanks George,
What range would the copper content of this substance be?
Cheers
According to Wiki:
Chalcopyrite (pronounced /ˌk?lkɵˈpaɪraɪt/ KAL-ko-PYE-ryet) is a copper iron sulfide mineral that crystallizes in the tetragonal system. It has the chemical composition CuFeS2.
It has a brassy to golden yellow colour and a hardness of 3.5 to 4 on the Mohs scale. Its streak is diagnostic as green tinged black.
On exposure to air, chalcopyrite oxidises to a variety of oxides, hydroxides and sulfates. Associated copper minerals include the sulfides bornite (Cu5FeS4), chalcocite (Cu2S), covellite (CuS), digenite (Cu9S5); carbonates such as malachite and azurite, and rarely oxides such as cuprite (Cu2O). Chalcopyrite is rarely found in association with native copper
Thanks George,What range would the copper content of this...
