Gangue is the undesired material of an ore.
It can be expensive and harmful to the environment.yes it can be harmful yet it can cause dormant toxins in the ore to become active.Not to mention that the more you mine the ore the actual gangue becomes higher than the actual value of the ore itself, therefore ridding it of the classification "ore"(gangue: the commercially valueless material in which ore is found.)(bold = edited by Ethan Urban)

A rock containing minerals is called an ore.answ2. A Mineral is defined as "A naturally occurring, homogeneous solid, with a defined chemical composition and a highly ordered atomic arrangement."An Ore on the other hand, is "A metalliferous mineral or aggregate of metalliferous minerals mixed with a gangue (unwanted material) and that can be exploited at a profit."
Generally the Iron ore contains Silica as main gangue material. To remove silica in the form of Slag, we add CaO or MgO as flux material. But if the ore itself have the higher content of CaO or MgO along with Silica, the ore will be SELF FLUXED and no need to add external Flux. So, the self fluxing is an advantage in the case of iron ores having CaO or MgO in gangue.
Mineral ore, perhaps.
Gangue minerals are the worthless material that surrounds, or is closely mixed with a wanted mineral. - So when you extract Nickel from Nickel Ore you end up with the concentrated Nickel and also the gangue minerals which surrounded it.
Ore is made up of minerals.
In mining, gangue is the commercially worthless material that surrounds, or is closely mixed with, a wanted mineral in an ore deposit. The separation of gangue from minerals can be a major obstacle. The ore may also be crushed to a fine grain.

Gangue-In mining, gangue(pronounced "gang") is the commercially worthless material that surrounds, or is closely mixed with, a wanted mineral in an ore deposit. It is thus distinct from overburden, which is the waste rock or materials overlying an ore or mineral body that are displaced during mining without being processed.
This method is based on the principle of the difference in the wetting properties of the ore and the gangue particles with the water and oil. This method is used for that metals whose ore gets preferably wetted by the oil and the gangue by the water. The sulphide ores preferably wetted by the oil and the gangue with the water. Hence this method is suitable for the concentration of the sulphide ore

Mineral,is a naturally occurring material in which metal or its compounds occur.An ore is that mineral in which metal is present in large quantity and from which the metal can be extracted in pure and high quality,economically.
the mineral with the ore of lead is galena
The mineral cassiterite is an ore of tin.
An ore is a rock or mineral from which a valuable metal can be obtained through refining processes.
