Summary: | In Japan, copper occurs in tuff, sandstone, slate and mudstone at the Sawaguchi mine, Ishikawa Pref. There are many green copper deposits in various districts of the world. The writer investigated several oxidized copper deposits in Iran, the Philippines, Peru and Chile. In such mines many difficult problems on mining geology, dressing, smelting, transportation, etc., give rise to discussion. A) There are many cases of the origin of green copper. B) Identification of oxide copper minerals, for example atacamite, is very difficult. C) Conditions of oxidation are various. We must consider the conditions of climate, weathering, geology, petrology, etc. |
