Definition
A place where copper ore is extracted from the earth. Also refers to various geographic locations named for copper mining activities.
Etymology
Compound of 'copper' from Old English 'coper' (from Latin 'cuprum') + 'mine' from Old French 'mine'. Many places worldwide bear this name due to historical copper mining operations.
Kelly Says
Copper was one of the first metals humans learned to extract and work with, leading to the Bronze Age when copper was alloyed with tin. Many 'coppermine' place names mark sites where Indigenous peoples or early settlers found this valuable metal.
