The method used to extract copper from its ores depends on the nature of the ore. ... Chalcopyrite (also known ascopper pyrites) and similar sulfideores are the commonest ores ofcopper. The ores typically containlow percentages of copper and have to be concentrated before refining (e.g., via froth flotation).

 yellow-metal propeller can be made of either a brass-related or a bronze-related alloy. In both cases, some minor amount of Cupper Ions leave the surface and stops the barnacles from attaching. BUT: As soon as a sacrificing anode is connected, it stops those Cupper Ions to be releases, and the barnacles will attach and grow.

It is only the seawater-resistant NiBrAl-alloys that are really good for seawater use, and for these alloys, no sacrificing anode is required. By this, they will release Cupper, and will not get much barnacles.

However, the brass-related alloys MUST have some form of sacrificing anode for protection, and as a result from that, they will get lots of barnacles.
