Copper ore



Copper ore is an ore which can be smelted in a furnace along with a piece of tin ore to create a bronze bar. Copper ore, along with tin ore, is the first ore a player can mine using the Mining skill, and all players are required to mine copper ore in Lumbridge for the quest Learning the Ropes. Copper rocks can be found in various mines across RuneScape, with some of the best mines being the East Varrock Mine, the Lumbridge Swamp mines, and the mines south of Keldagrim. Mining a copper ore grants 17.5 Mining experience for each ore mined. A player can smelt copper ore into a bronze bar through the Smithing skill by using it on a furnace along with a tin ore, granting 6.25 Smithing experience. This requires level 1 Smithing. The ore can be sold for 76 coins.

Copper can also be found when digging at the Digsite.
