Extraction of Metals from Ores – Different Processes Involved
This is one of the methods of extraction of metals from ores by using two mediums together. Both oil and water are used to separate impurities. It can only be done when the ore forms froth when compressed air is passed in this medium. The frothed ore collects on the oil section whereas the impurities settle down in the water medium.

Geology and mining — MineFacts
Several factors are considered when calculating the mineability of a deposit. Important factors are the cost of extracting the deposit, the metal content and its location. Copper ore with a content of 0.3 per cent is probably not worth extracting if it lies at a depth of 1000 m, but can be interesting if it is at the surface.
