Has anyone got any papers on processing of native copper - either flotation or gravity separation?

Most of the work on native copper will reference the Michigan Kewanee operations which shut down in the late 1960's and all of them used gravity seperation (see Taggert Handbokk of Mineral Dressing section 2-30).  This was due to general mallability of native copper making it unsuited to milling.  While some work was done later on flotation recovery of copper from copper slag, the general large sizes of the native copper makes it a poor flotation prospect.
