Highland Valley Copper Mine Tour

In the video it keeps on referring to cooper being separated for further processing, and cooper being to asia to be smelted. It is actually not cooper, but Im guessing cooper bearing minerals such as chalcopyrite. So, the concentrate is not pure cooper, but rather a cooper mineral containing an x amount of cooper which is then sent to a smelter where the cooper is extracted.

@reaper020

You have to call ahead to arrange the tours. They did do an open house this past summer but now you have to call ahead. The phone number is 250-523-3307
