Significant waste volumes are associated with copper production. Mine wastes may contain radionuclides due to their natural presence in ores and can be a source of TENORM. Uranium, which may be colocated with copper ore, may also be recovered as a side stream, if economical. However, in the United States this is not a general practice.

For the different metal industries considered (aluminium, copper, iron and steel, lead, niobium, tin and zinc), NOR activities in feed material for metal smelting are generally low. The same holds for slag and other wastes. Ore and waste products for the tin industry contain higher activities though (100,000200,000 Bq kg −1 210 Pb and 210 Po).

A number of primary ores such as phosphate rock, gold, copper and rare earth ores contain considerable amounts of accompanying uranium and other critical materials. Energy neutral mineral processing is the extraction of unconventional uranium during primary ore processing to use it, after enrichment and fuel production, to generate greenhouse gas lean energy in a nuclear reactor.
