13. VIDEO ANALYIS – 1 sheet of paper
• Make a flowchart that summarizes
the processes involved in
hydrometallurgy and pyrometallurgy
that are the two ways of processing
mineral ores like copper.
• Describe the different ways of
processing mineral ores. In what way
are the steps similar? Different?

21. Rock/Mineral
Contains useful metals and
non metals that has
economical value
The cost of mining
and extracting the
useful resources is
Higher than its
possible profit
Gauge
materials
22. GANGUE MINERALS
A mineral or Rock that is
proven to contain some
metallic elements but are
not yet economically
mineable.
23. ORE
Contains useful metals and
non metals that has
economical value
The cost of mining and extracting
the useful resources must not
exceed its possible profit
24. TODAY’S GOAL:
What are the factors to consider
when finding location of mining
ores?
What processes are involved in
extracting mineral resources?
How do these processes affect
the environment?
