Why might an ore containing a valuable mineral might not be worth mining?
In some cases it will cost more to mine and refine the mineral than that mineral is worth. This can occur if the concentration of the mineral is too low, or if it is buried too deep to be accessed cost-effectively. In this case, the mineral resource is techincally not an ore, as by definition, an ore is a mineral resource that can be extracted at a profit.
What step occurs next after extraction in the mineral resource cycle?
Refining!
