1. ore

   Ore is a naturally occurring solid material from which valuable minerals or metals can be economically extracted. It typically contains minerals in a high enough concentration to make extraction profitable. Examples include iron ore, gold ore, copper ore, etc. Extraction usually involves mining and then processing the ore to isolate the valuable substance.

1. Ore

   An ore is a type of rock that contains minerals with important elements including metals. The ores are extracted through mining; these are then refined to extract the valuable element. The grade or concentration of an ore mineral, or metal, as well as its form of occurrence, will directly affect the costs associated with mining the ore. The cost of extraction must thus be weighed against the metal value contained in the rock to determine what ore can be processed and what ore is of too low a grade to be worth mining. Metal ores are generally oxides, sulfides, silicates, or "native" metals that are not commonly concentrated in the Earth's crust or "noble" metals such as gold. The ores must be processed to extract the metals of interest from the waste rock and from the ore minerals. Ore bodies are formed by a variety of geological processes. The process of ore formation is called ore genesis.
