Gangue is the undesired material of an ore.
Overburden and gangue are the waste rocks that must be removed before a mineral can be used. Overburden refers to the unconsolidated material above an ore deposit, while gangue is the unwanted rock in an ore deposit that has to be separated during processing.
Gangue minerals are not considered ores because they do not contain valuable minerals that can be extracted profitably. Ores, on the other hand, contain valuable minerals in high enough concentrations to be economically recovered. Gangue is typically separated from the ore during the mineral processing stage.
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.
Overburden refers to the rock or soil covering a mineral deposit, while ore is the mineral deposit itself that contains valuable minerals or metals. Overburden needs to be removed to access the ore for mining.
An ore is a naturally occurring material from which a metal or valuable mineral can be extracted, while a lode is a deposit of ore found in a fissure or crack within a rock formation. Essentially, a lode is a layer or vein of ore within a larger mineral deposit.

Ore is made up of minerals.
Gangue is the waste material that surrounds and is mixed in with valuable minerals in an ore deposit. It does not have any commercial value and is usually removed during the process of extracting the valuable 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.

The waste material that must be separated from an ore is known as gangue. Gangue is the material that does not contain any valuable minerals and is typically removed during the process of ore extraction and purification.
The process of extracting a useful substance from an ore typically involves crushing the ore to release the desired mineral, then separating the mineral from the gangue (unwanted material) using physical or chemical methods such as gravity separation, flotation, or leaching. Finally, the extracted mineral is further refined to obtain the desired substance in its pure form.

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.
The steps of concentration of ore include crushing and grinding the ore to reduce its size, separating the desired mineral from the gangue using physical or chemical methods (such as gravity separation or froth flotation), and further refining the concentrate to remove impurities. The final step involves smelting or refining the concentrated ore to extract the desired metal.
