its a metal

Copper is refined through a process called electrolysis. In this process, copper ore is first crushed and then smelted to extract the metal. The molten copper is then electrolytically refined to remove impurities and produce high-purity copper cathodes.
Copper can be found to contain more valuable metal within it, thus making it a bit more valuable.
Copper can be extracted from bioleaching by using bacteria to oxidize the sulphide minerals in the ore, releasing copper ions. These ions can then be leached out using a dilute acid solution. The copper can be further concentrated and refined through processes such as solvent extraction and electroplating.
True. Copper can be isolated in useful amounts during electrolysis, where an electric current is passed through a solution containing copper ions, causing them to deposit on the cathode. This process is commonly used in industries to extract and purify copper.
Hmmm...copper "is" a metal. Are you looking for a comparison between pure copper and various alloys made with copper?
