It is so because metals cannot be extracted from minerals in a convenient way. E.g.:- Aluminum metal is found in both minerals: clay and bauxite. Aluminum metal is extracted only from bauxite in a convenient way. So, bauxite is an ore of aluminum. On the other hand, it is not extracted from clay so clay remains only as mineral not ore of aluminum.

No. Mining is not a renewable industry. The only way those minerals can be renewed is through recycling of products that are no longer needed by their original users which are made with those mined minerals.
Minerals can be insulators, but it depends on their specific properties. Many minerals, like quartz and mica, exhibit insulating characteristics due to their atomic structure, which prevents the flow of electrical current. However, some minerals, such as graphite and certain metal ores, can conduct electricity. Overall, the insulating ability of a mineral is determined by its composition and structure.
Either, or both. Minerals are usually considered gems if they are valuable, attractive and highly pure. Minerals are considered ores if they are used to extract a substance. For example, pure haematite is polished and sold as a gem, while crude haematite is used to extract iron.
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.
Ores are mineral deposits that contain metals in concentrated form. Rocks can also contain minerals, but not all rocks are considered to be minerals. Metals are elements that are typically extracted from ores through mining and processing.
No, not all rocks can be referred to as ores. Ores are rocks or minerals that contain sufficient quantity of a sought-after material, like metals, that can be extracted and processed for use. So, while all ores are rocks, not all rocks are considered ores.
ores are the minerals that are underground that you have to cook in order to be a mineral.
All the minerals whose operation is necessary and profitable at a time.
Surface mining: extracting minerals or ores from the surface of the Earth. Underground mining: extracting minerals or ores from beneath the Earth's surface. Placer mining: extracting minerals or ores from rivers, streams, or other sediment deposits. Submarine mining: extracting minerals or ores from the seabed.

Yes, you do because you need 2 or more elements or minerals to make metals and ores are lots and lots of minerals.
Minerals are naturally occurring inorganic solids with a crystalline structure and a definite range of chemical formula. Ores are concentrations of minerals in rock that are high enough to be economically extracted for use. All ores are minerals, but all minerals are not necessarily ores.A mineral is a solid chemical substance, and ore is a rock that contains minerals.
Minerals are mined in regions where they occur as ores because ores have a higher concentration of the desired mineral, making extraction more economical and feasible. Mining in regions where minerals occur as ores also reduces the need for extensive processing to extract the desired mineral.
no they are minerals in the Earth
it can be found in ores
