20.1 Metal Deposits – Physical Geology

It is clear that some very significant concentration must take place to form a mineable deposit. This concentration may occur during the formation of the host rock, or after the rock forms, through a number of different types of processes. There is a very wide variety of ore-forming processes, and there are hundreds of types of mineral deposits.

Concentration of Ores . First ores are crushed and grinded and then gauge or matrix is removed from the powdered ore. This is called concentration of ores. Ores of highly, moderately, and low reactive metals are 1 st concentrated. This step is common for ores of all types of metals. It is carried out by various methods depending upon the nature ...

[SOLVED] Which type of ores are concentrated by froth ...

The froth flotation method is used to separate and concentrate ores by altering their surfaces to a hydrophobic or hydrophilic condition. This method is based on the principle of the difference in the wetting properties of the ore and the gangue particles with the water and oil. Therefore, sulphide ores preferably wetted by the oil and the ...

The Geology of Rare Earth Elements

Rare Earth Ore Classification. Classification of ores related to alkaline rocks is also controversial. Table 2 presents a relatively simple classification that follows analogous categories for deposits related to nonalkaline igneous rocks. Some of the more unusual alkaline rocks that host, or are related to, REE ores are carbonatite and phoscorite, igneous rocks composed principally of ...

an environmentally-destructive type of mining, releasing large quantities of sediment that can impact surface water for several miles downstream of the placer mine. 1.1.3.3 Underground mining In underground mining, a minimal amount of overburden is removed to gain access to the ore deposit. Access to this ore deposit is gained by tunnels or shafts.

Ore deposits. An ore deposit, in its simplest terms, is a portion of the Earth's crust from which some industrial raw material can be extracted at a profit. As such, its characteristics are as much economic as geochemical. Nevertheless, its formation required the operation of geochemical processes to produce the concentration of a specific element or elements in a particular place.
