The waste rock that must be removed before a mineral can be used is known as ore. The process of removing waste rock to extract valuable minerals is called mining. This waste rock is separated from the ore during the mining process.

Not a mineral but a rock. Schist comes asfter phyllite ut before gneiss.
Those rocks would be called ores.
Diamond is a mineral form of carbon. It is not a metamorphic rock, but a mineral formed from extreme heat and pressure.
it is worth money but it is worth a lot more if the ore is removed from the rock/mineral
An example of mining waste is tailings, which are the materials left over after the extraction of valuable minerals from ore. Tailings often consist of finely crushed rock, chemicals used in the extraction process, and water, and they can pose environmental hazards if not managed properly. Additionally, overburden, the soil and rock removed to access mineral deposits, is another form of mining waste that can lead to habitat destruction and soil erosion.
