The simplest way is to look at the rock. Many of the most common minerals are very easy to identify. Criteria like the colour, cleavage, hardness, luster, reaction to certain chemical and many other qualities give hints.
Most rocks are made of a quartz, calcite, and feldspars. These are fairly simple to tell apart. There are thousands of different minerals though (but most are very rare).
Also, under a microscope, thin sections of rocks can be made. Again the minerals all have unique properties that can be seen here.
If minerals are too small to you can use XRD (X-Ray diffeaction). This involves hitting a sample of the rock with x-rays and measuring the x-rays that bounce off. Each mineral has a distinct pattern for how it gives off x-rays interact with it, so the result gives an idea of which minerals are present and in what amounts
By using mineral detection methods, like the use of magnetism for magnetic minerals such as magnetite, also the use of electricity, gravitation and waves in detecting and exploitation of other useful economic minerals.
It depends on what type of minerals they're looking for. Some minerals are visible with the unaided eye, but small amounts may require magnifying devices, possibly microscopes or chemical analysis. Surveys are done of surface formations and rock types, core drilling may be required, as well as laboratory analysis to determine the minerals in a given area.
Through mineral composition.
I don't know same snwr
by the color or size.
Minerals are inorganic naturally occurring solids with a definite chemical composition and a crystalline structure. Rocks are composed of minerals.
There are many non-minerals you might find contained in rocks include gypsum. You might also find non-minerals like halite and calcite.
Rocks are composed of one or more minerals.
Rocks are normally combinations of different minerals.
Minerals are made into rocks. If there were no rocks we wouldn't have minerals
the minerals are in the rocks
The minerals were to deep in the ground

Examin it
You can use rocks to find minerals because many minerals show up in certain kinds of rock. For instance, beryl can be found in schist or limestone.

Pertaining to rocks rich in dark, ferromagnesian minerals.
Rocks contain minerals in them and minerals are just the minerals themselves.
Rocks are composed of one or more minerals.
Most igneous rocks have a relatively homogenous mix of minerals which are interlocked.
