Bioleaching is the extraction of a metal from sulfide ores or concentrates using materials found native to the environment; namely, water, air and microorganisms. In other words, bioleaching is the commercialization of the ability of certain bacteria and archaea, found in nature, to catalyze the oxidation of sulfide minerals.

Copper for its lowgrade ores is majorly extracted by making the usage of the processes of hydrometallurgy. Moreover, the extraction of copper is majorly done by the process of leaching which relates to the use of bacteria. These bacteria leach out the ore and thereby extract copper from the metal compounds.
