List and define 4-5 waste materials from copper ore processing

Four waste materials from copper ore processing are: ore minerals, unwanted rock or gangue, uranium, and pyrite/sulfide minerals. Ore minerals are contained in rock and have potential to be economically extracted, gangue may contain silicate minerals for which there is no economic value, uranium is a frequently-occurring radionuclide found in ore bodies, and pyrite and sulfide minerals may be found in tailings piles during copper processing.
