Hi Joe,
Your question (Mike, I have a question: What happens to the copper in the dore bars when the dore bars are refined? Is it recycled or is it lost in the processing operation?)

The copper is just recollected as electrolytic copper. It is passed into solution at the anode and precipitated at the cathode. Another method is to make copper cement with iron and sent the copper to the smelter for re-refining. mike
