To my understanding, minerals don't need chelates, we need chelated forms of minerals to better be able to use them. Chelated minerals are a special form of minerals that are found in living things. If the minerals aren't chelated, living things are unable to utilize them.

Minerals are important to living things because they use them to form complex enzymes and proteins. Minerals (ores) can be economically important: 1. The country can earn foreign currency by selling the minerals to other countries. 2. Jewellery can be made from gold and diamond, and even ruby, emerald, etc. 3. Household needs can be met e.g. bauxite, when processed, is turned into aluminum and so we get foil.
Ozone gas is important for living things. It maintains our biosphere.
