Ores and minerals

Minerals are naturally occurring chemical substances obtained from the earth’s crust, whereas, ores are those minerals from which metals can be extracted easily and in abundant amounts. Another important point to note is- all minerals are not ores but all ores are essentially minerals too. Owing to the diversity & complexity of the types of ore produced, the composition & crystallization state of them vary a lot.

Minerals are either metallic or non-metallic and possess unique physical and chemical properties. To study and test the properties of a certain mineral, it is important to understand its elemental composition first. These compositions include calcium, magnesium, sulphur, phosphorus, total carbon content, etc.
