About Ore
A general term for a rock/mineral containing a potentially economic quantity of extractable metals or other elements, constiting part of a mineral deposit. It is generally prefixed by the economic mineral or element, eg. gold ore.
Ore is natural rock or sediment that contains one or more valuable minerals, typically metals, that can be mined, treated and sold at a profit. Ore is extracted from the earth through mining and treated or refined, often via smelting, to extract the valuable metals or minerals.
