Most non-metallic and structural minerals are less processed because they do not require extensive refining or complex extraction methods compared to metals. These minerals are often used in their natural state for construction and manufacturing purposes, reducing the need for additional processing. Additionally, the demand for these minerals may not justify the cost of further processing.
