    Also, for those of you interested in art and materials,
    the Mauritshuis (a museum in the Netherlands) has
    released a flurry on info on the famous painting by

    Very interesting video on copper mining/smelting/refining.  Having previously worked for Phelps Dodge I had learned much about copper.  Today's methods of refining copper have become much more sophisticated; an electrowinning process of leaching the huge rock beds to extract the last bits of copper is now being utilized.
