I have a copper oxide ore from my mine that analysis shows it is 23% copper and smaller but significant amounts of sliver and gold by weight. Does anyone have any suggestions how to separate the copper, silver and gold?

What is the anode in this suggestion?Gold and Silver will usually follow the Copper.
So you could just mine the Copper?
Then run a Copper cell, the Gold and Silver will report to the slimes from the Copper cell.
What do you mean?What is the anode in this suggestion?
Smelted blister copper. Ore would be concentrated by gravity, eventually processed and concentrates smelted. After some pyrometallurgical cleaning, it will be suitable for electrorafination in the cell. Byproduct would be slimes containing precious metals (which won´t pass to the solution, if the voltage/current are set right). Common practice in copper refineries.What is the anode in this suggestion?
