No. By definition a rock is made of minerals. An ore is a mineral resource that can be extracted, refined, and sold at a profit.
Minerals are mined in regions where they occur as ores because ores have a higher concentration of the desired mineral, making extraction more economical and feasible. Mining in regions where minerals occur as ores also reduces the need for extensive processing to extract the desired mineral.
Seams in ores form through the process of mineral deposition, where minerals are deposited in cracks or fissures in rocks over time. These seams can be created by hydrothermal fluids, magma intrusion, or other geological processes that concentrate minerals in a specific area. As the minerals accumulate and solidify, they form distinct seams or veins within the surrounding rock.
Ores are mineral deposits that contain metals in concentrated form. Rocks can also contain minerals, but not all rocks are considered to be minerals. Metals are elements that are typically extracted from ores through mining and processing.
Rock minerals form from lava, magma or solutions.
"Ore" is the singular form and refers to a naturally occurring material from which minerals can be extracted, typically metal ores. "Ores" is the plural form of "ore," indicating multiple sources of mineral deposits.
Minerals are naturally occurring inorganic solids with a crystalline structure and a definite range of chemical formula. Ores are concentrations of minerals in rock that are high enough to be economically extracted for use. All ores are minerals, but all minerals are not necessarily ores.A mineral is a solid chemical substance, and ore is a rock that contains minerals.
Minerals are minerals. An ore is a rock matrix that has a rather large amount of a certain mineral in it, hence "Iron ore", Silver ore", etc.
Replacement minerals.
Yes and No, while some metal ores may indeed be vein minerals, not all vein minerals are metal ores and not all metal ores are vein minerals.
ores are the minerals that are underground that you have to cook in order to be a mineral.
Generally an ore is a rock composed of various minerals. A crystal is normally a pure or nearly pure variety of a mineral. Ores are refined to extract one or more specific minerals which exist in the rock. The less desirable minerals are considered waste.
