WE HAVE SOME COPPER MINERAL.IN WHICH RADIOACTVITY IS HIGHER.NOW IF I HEAT IT UP TO 1000 DEGREE CENTIGRADE THEN WHAT HAPPEN.

Please re phrase, this is not making sense, looks like secondary or tursery radioactivity was acquired along the way, means it may be in your hand by some major mishandling. Unless the activity is below the background radiation level, a banana can trigger Geiger counter to tick if, on sensitive setting but it is OK to eat. In case of banana it comes from radio active potassium in it.
Quick answer could be found by taking a minute sample to that temp in a lab under controlled condition, but watch out for crackle or spatters if it melts. Send it to a lab that has RAD license. Do not do this on your own.

the radioactivity won't be affected.
since the temp is slightly lower than M.P. of copper(1083.0 °C) it will be about to melt.
any change in physical condition of the metal will not affect the radioactivity.

the color of copper did not change, the effect was high heat on it
