Carbon is a mineral with many different allotropes (structurally different arrangements of the same compound) some of which are found in the Earth's crust (eg. Graphite and Diamond). An ore is a type of rock that contains important minerals such as gold ore or diamond ore.
Usually the term 'ore' is reserved to rocks containing economically useful metals but 'carbon ore' is not a contradiction.

Are ores and rocks minerals or metals?
Pure native metals are considered minerals. Mixed metals are considered alloys.
Why are minerals mined only in those regions where they occur in the form of ores?
Minerals are mined only in region where they form in ores as the cost of extraction is very high.

Where are ores found?
Mined of metal ores depend on the position of the metal in electrochemical or activity series but metals can be extract through electrolysis and reduction process.
What is subsurface mining?
Subsurface mining, is the extraction of ores and minerals, which lie underground.
What can useful minerals be found from?
it can be found in ores
Where can minerals and ores be found?
In the beach
How are minerals extracted from their ores?
metals are extracted from their ores according to their reactivity series.firstly, metals that are more reactive that carbon are extracted by electrolysis whic is breaking the compounds down using electricity.secondly, metals that are less reactive than carbon are extracted by reduction in which carbon is added to the metal ore, carbon react with oxygen and the metal remain by itself pure.example: Zinc oxide + Carbon ----> Zinc + Carbon dioxideGold and Platinum are found in nature by themselves.
Where are some places iron can be found?
Aluminum and iron are often found in ores. some ores are compacted with difrent minerals like iron, Aluminum

Carbon
Are vein minerals metal deposits that occur in cracks in rocks?
Yes and No, while some metal ores may indeed be vein minerals, not all vein minerals are metal ores and not all metal ores are vein minerals.
How does the heating with carbon monoxide process work when extracting minerals from its ores?
It can reduce the oxidation state of the mineral in the ore being heated.

What r ores?
ores are the minerals that are underground that you have to cook in order to be a mineral.
