I am also doing that.found a tailings dump consisting of Chalcopyrite and Bornite,however it is quite mixed in with this other rock that is black,think it's Cobalt ore🤔 +1 sub 😊
im looking to do the same thing. look into the froth flotation process. seems easy enough to jury rig something up that would be worth doing instead of trying to go right to the smelting process. electrolytic separation would also remove any final impurities from the after smelted result. hope to see more of this dude! seems like we're to only 2 of our age group that find this stuff cool or interesting lol
No but these are the online sights I use to find abandoned mines and tailings. They are really great for re-searching your area for mines www.mindat.org/loc-3293.html www.expertgps.com/data/az/mines.asp Also, to make sure that the area is public and not privately owned you can use the on X hunt app to double check.
That to me was very interesting. I have found some copper ore in copper harbor MI some years ago. Good luck with all your copper collecting !
Thanks!

Thanks a lot for the tip! And yeah you’re right, not many people do this anymore.
Do you share your locations?

look at the pyrite with a loupe and if the gold colored mineral is in cubes it is pyrite if not you may have gold
I was actually thinking that and I’m going to do some tests and show what I find in the next video
yeah lithium battery and electric motor use copper sir
