I'm pretty sure, but I'll let someone else confirm it first before a change: I found a single copper ore on one of those hardened lava pillars. It appears to be very rare though. It makes sense to me though that you can find nearly every other element lying about in this biome, why not singular copper ores?

To test this you might have to cheat and build a scanner base near the Sea Dragons. I think it was on one of the pillars close to the lava pit.
