The main ore of copper is chalcopyrite (CuFeS 2 ), which is often associated with other base or precious metal ores, notably those containing gold, galena (PbS) and sphalerite (ZnS). In Victoria, copper-bearing ores have been discovered in a variety of geological environments. These include deposits of exhalative volcanogenic origin, …

The ore deposit contains both primary and secondary copper minerals and is therefore classed into three distinct types, viz. sulphide, oxide and mixed. The mixed ore contains oxide, supergene oxide and hypogene sulphide copper species respectively with the greater part of the deposit being made up of sulphide and mixed ores.

Supergene enrichment is volume for volume, not molecule for molecule; thus, more molecules of a denser mineral will occupy the space of a less dense one. Secondary enrichment depends on the relative solubilities of the various sulfides. Mercury, silver, copper, bismuth, lead, zinc, nickel, cobalt, iron, and manganese are deposited in that order.
