Metalliferous Ores
Metalliferous ores are naturally occurring rocks or minerals that contain valuable metals. These ores are mined and processed to extract metals such as gold, silver, copper, and iron. The concentration of these metals in the ores varies, and the extraction process often involves crushing, grinding, and chemical treatments.
The economic importance of metalliferous ores is significant, as they are essential for various industries, including construction, electronics, and manufacturing. The mining of these ores can have environmental impacts, leading to the need for sustainable practices in the extraction and processing of metals.
