本站简介
Cerro Verde's 2015 expansion made it one of the highest-throughput mills anywhere — the modern answer to declining grade is simply to process more rock per day.
品位。 Low grade offset by very large scale.
"品位"是指有用成分在矿石中所占的百分比。一座品位为0.5%的铜矿，每产出一吨铜就需丢弃199吨废石。这一个数字，决定了一个矿体究竟是可开采的矿山，还是仅具地质意义的有趣岩石。

The reddish metal that carries electricity better than anything except silver, and which humans have been smelting…
Molybdenum
A silvery metal added to steel so it keeps its strength at high temperature and under pressure.
Silver
The best electrical conductor there is, and the metal that has been used as money for longer than almost anything…
"副产品"是指因与主矿种赋存于同一岩体而被回收的金属，并非专门勘探的目标。因此，其供应量受主矿种经济性驱动，而非自身供需关系。
