Which process is endothermic-roasting or calcination?

Roasting is an endothermic reaction while calcination is an exothermic reaction. Roasting involves heating a substance in the presence of oxygen, such as in the preparation of metal ores, while calcination involves heating a substance in the absence of oxygen to drive off volatile substances, such as in the production of lime from limestone.
