A mineral deposit that can be mined for a profit. Material which has a valuable constituent, usually a precious metal, that gives it value and makes it profitable for extraction. A fine example is Calaverite, which is extracted because of the gold it contains. "Ore" also refers to the precious material that was extracted from the ore.
A natural combination of minerals from which economically important amounts of a metal or metals can be obtained.
A rock that holds a metal you want. If quartz has gold in it then that quartz is classed as ore.

(das) Erz Ores are →Minerals of which metal is produced by employing the process of →smelting. Two main groups of ore exist: oxidic and sulfidic ores. Oxidic ores are in general of limited availability, are free of gangue and can esily be smelted. Sulfidic ores (compounds wih Sulfur (S)) are more abundant, are usually required to undergo a preceding →roasting process and are often intergrown with gangue. It becomes immediately apparent that these are by far more challenging to smelt. Ore is an economic term, and another prerequisite is that is has to be economically worthwile to smelt these in order to produce metal. For →Copper there are few economicall important ores: →Chalcopyrite, →Chalkocite, →Covellite and →Cuprite.→Cassiterite is the most important ore for the production of →Tin.
Rock from which metal or minerals can be extracted at a financial profit.
Mineral or combination of minerals from which metals or other valuable substances can be mined.

a mixture of mineralised material from which at least one of the contained minerals can be mined and processed at an economic profit.
Valuable (usually metallic) minerals that can be mined profitably.
A naturally occurring mineral that can be mined and treated for the extraction of any of its components, metallic or otherwise, on a commercial basis.
Rock containing native metals or a concentrated accumulation of ore minerals.

(2) a mineral or mineral aggregate containing precious or useful metals and which occurs in such quantity, grade, and chemical combination as to make extraction commercially profitable.
That part of a mineral deposit, which could be economically and legally extracted or produced at the time of reserve determination.
Minerals from which metals are extracted.
Rock containing enough precious metal to make it worth mining.
a metal-bearing mineral valuable enough to be mined
a vein of pure gold and a "mineral" is a mine, so the Queen means that Hamlet's tears show that even in his madness he really has a heart of gold
Mineral bearing rock that can (or has been) mined and treated.
A naturally occurring solid material from which metal or other valuable minerals may be extracted. Any rock that can be mined for a profit.
mixture of metal or minerals and rock
Mineralized material of sufficiently high grade and quantity that extraction by mining and further processing for concentration of minerals is a profitable enterprise.
a mineral or solid material containing a precious or useful substance in a quantity and form that makes its extraction/mining profitable
a mineral of sufficent value, both in quantity and quality, which can be mined at a profit
Material that contains one or more minerals, at least one of which has commercial value and which can be recovered at a profit.
Ore is a mixture of minerals, from which one or more metals may be extracted.
A natural mineral aggregate, especially one that is mined to extract minerals.
A natural deposit containing a mineral of an element to be extracted.
A source mineral from which one or more metals can be mined.
Distinct body of rock containing minerals in sufficient concentration to be mined profitably. Economic feasibility depends largely on the price of the mineralised metals and the cost of extracting them.
A mixture of minerals, host rock and waste material which is expected to be economically mineable.
A mineral deposit that can be mined at a profit.
A mineral containing a valuable constituent (as metal) for which it is mined and worked.
A kind of rock made up of different minerals that might contain useful metals, such as gold, iron, or silver. If there are useful metals in the rock, it is crushed and the metals are taken out using heat, electricity or chemicals.
natural occurrence of one or more minerals that may be mined and sold at a profit, or from which some part may be profitably separated. The word ore should only be used in situations where an extensive study of the deposit resources is complete, commercial processes to extract the minerals have been designed for the specific deposit and all of the capital and operating cost and environmental issues have been estimated by qualified persons.
The naturally occurring materials from which minerals of economic value can be profitably extracted; also the mineral(s) thus extracted.
Material from which metal could be extracted by smelting.
An aggregate of minerals from which one or more minerals can be extracted for profit.
mineral from which metals can be extracted.
a mixture of minerals, host rock and waste rock which is expected to be profitably mined
Rock containing minerals in sufficient concentration, quantity, and value to be mined at a profit. The definition changes as technology improves, todayâ€(tm)s ore being yesterdayâ€(tm)s valueless pile of rock.
A metal or mineral or a combination of these of sufficient value as to quality and quantity to enable it to be mined at a profit.
Rock containing metals or their compounds in sufficient quantities to be mined.
a mixture of minerals or gangue, which at least one of the minerals can be extracted for a profit.
A mixture of valuable minerals and gangue from which at least one of the metals can be extracted at a profit.
a rock containing minerals useful to people, e.g. iron ore, gold ore.
A mineral or minerals that can be mined and extracted from a rock at a profit.
mineral, usually metallic, from which an economically desirable material can be extracted. For example, galena is an ore of lead found in the hills of Derbyshire.
Ore is the natural form of a metal. The pure metal has to be extracted from the ore.

Material that can be mined and processed at a positive cash flow.
An iron-containing material used primarily in the melting furnace.
An ore is a material that contains a metal in such quantities that it can be mined and worked commercially to extract that metal. The metal is usually contained in chemical combination with some other element in addition to various impurities.
The naturally occurring material from which a mineral or minerals of economic value can be extracted.
A rock or mineral that contains a valuable constituent, such as diamonds or a metal, for which it is mined and processed.
part of a metal-yielding material that can be economically and legally extracted at a given time. An ore typically contains two parts: the ore mineral, which contains the desired metal, and waste mineral material (gangue).
Mineral bearing rock that contains one or more minerals, at least one of which can be mined and treated profitably under current or immediately foreseeable economic conditions;
A source of minerals that can be mined at a profit. Ore refers to either metallic or non-metallic deposits such as sulfur.
