Oh yes it does!
Calcium carbonate (main constituent of limestone), magnesium carbonate (ditto of dolomite), calcium sulphate (gypsum), sodium chloride ("ordinary" table salt, but in its rock form), and some other metallic compounds, can all be dissolved by groundwater derived directly from rain and snow-melt.
Hot, high-pressure (hydrothermal) water is mroe aggressive and will leach more metallic salts from granite etc.
The dissolved minerals may then be deposited elsewhere by evaporation.

Minerals are typically deposited through the process of precipitation. This occurs when dissolved minerals in water or other fluids solidify and settle onto surfaces like rocks or sediment. Minerals can also be deposited through metamorphism, when existing rocks change in composition due to heat and pressure. Additionally, hydrothermal activity can bring minerals to the surface through cracks and fissures in the Earth's crust.
