Mines Gaspe extracts copper and molybdenum from skarn and porphyry copper orebodies at Murdochville in the Gaspe Peninsula, Quebec. Both types of orebodies occur in the zoned Copper Brook aureole, which formed in calcareous Lower Devonian strata around the Copper Mountain plug, one of a group of small rhyodacite porphyry sills, dikes, and …

After the discovery of copper ore the rush was on. More than 30 mining operations would spring up over the next few years. The mining companies used smelting to separate the copper from the rocks and cut timber to fuel the smelters. The resulting sulphuric acid (acid rain) and deforestation devastated the environment.

The study finds that global copper demand will roughly double by 2035, from the current 25 million metric tons (MMt) today to nearly 50 MMt. That is the equivalent of demand for crude oil rising ...
