Mining and processing. Early African miners used copper oxides and carbonates rather than sulfides, because they were able to reduce oxides and carbonates to copper metal, but not sulfides. Sulfides were more complex to reduce to metal and required multiple stages. Complex deepmining methods and special tools were not needed, because oxides were structurally weakened by decomposition
