Copper mines operated in Hancock County near Blue Hill and Sullivan, from 1877 to 1884. [29] The Harborside mine, near Brooksville mined copper and zinc from an open pit from 1968 to 1972. The underground Black Hawk mine near Blue Hill produced copper, zinc, and lead from 1972 to 1977. [30]
The residue is removed. A feed of matte and sulfide concentrate containing approximately 0.4% cobalt and 30% sulfur is pressure leached at elevated temperature and pressure in an ammoniacal solution to produce a solution of nickel, copper and cobalt. By boiling away the ammonia; copper is precipitated as a sulfide and sent to a smelter.
