How can the classification of a mineral as an ore change?

A mineral deposit can become an ore when it becomes profitably extractable. Nevertheless, factors affecting prices include supply versus demand, production costs, stocks on hand, government (price controls), possibility of supply disruption, technology (substitution, recycling), geopolitics, and exchange rate.

What is a material shortness?

Material shortness refers to a situation where there is an insufficient supply of a particular material needed for production or manufacturing processes. This can lead to delays, increased costs, and challenges in meeting demand. Factors contributing to material shortness include supply chain disruptions, increased demand, and trade restrictions. Organizations often need to find alternatives or adjust their operations to mitigate the impact of such shortages.
