Until the latter half of the 20th century, smelting sulfide ores was almost the sole means of producing copper metal from mined ores (primary copper production).
Recent research suggests that polonium-210, a radioactive element that is also chemically toxic, is the primary culprit in lung damage.

Arizona has several primary gold deposits and many copper deposits with by-product gold. Hidden gold deposits are likely to be found in several mining districts.
