What is ore?
Mineral stone or ore refers to those stones that are extracted from various mines and contain valuable metals and elements. These valuable elements and metals are separated from the stones in different stages and are used for different purposes. Ores or minerals are graded depending on the degree or concentration of the purity of the elements inside them and the form of their origin. Then, those rocks are mined more that are economical and reasonable to mine. Sulfites, silicates and oxides are examples of these rocks. Also, copper metal is another type of this valuable material that is usually not concentrated inside the shell. Other metals, such as gold, are extracted from minerals. Minerals and minerals are completely natural and solid chemical compounds that have a crystalline and homogeneous structure. These compounds have changeable physical properties. The science that deals with extracting these valuable materials is called mineralogy. On the other hand, in order to extract these precious metals and materials, as well as to supply raw materials in factories, one must have sufficient mastery of the science of mineralogy.
Types of mineral stones and minerals based on their application
Metal
Non-metal such as potash, salts, mica, etc.
High or combustible materials such as coal
Classification of ores is also done according to criteria such as its origin and economic geological studies. According to this classification, they are divided into the following categories:
Hydrothermal epigenetics
Nickel-cobalt-platinum deposit
Related volcanic deposits
Carbonatite Related Alkaline Igneous
Metamorphic Reconstructed Rocks
Sedimentary Rocks
Stroblem Related Rocks
Hydrothermal Sedimentary Rocks
