[mikegu1126]

I'm going to do a task of mineral and ore.
Teacher required me to give a reference of econimic and non-economic deposit of natural resources, but I have no idea where can I find the reference.


Please provide a website to me.
Thank you very much~!~!~!

What mineral ore are you doing?

 

[mikegu1126]

The question is: define the terms mineral and ore with reference to economic and non-economic deposits of natural resources.

I'm not sure, can I just choose one to say??

The basic difference is that an ore is an economically viable deposit of a particular element while a mineral does not have to be economically viable.

I see.

Thank you very much~

Economic deposits are usually considered as ores which contain high percentages of the mineral required, and can be easily extracted. Non-economic deposits, on the other hand, contain little to no minerals which are economically viable to extract or sell.:giddy:
