This presentation discusses different types of minerals, their occurrence, uses, and conservation. It covers classification of minerals into energy, metallic, and non-metallic minerals. Metallic minerals are further divided into ferrous, non-ferrous, and precious minerals. Non-metallic minerals are described as dull and not reflective. Energy minerals are those used to obtain energy. Modes of mineral occurrence include in igneous and metamorphic rocks, sedimentary rocks, during rock decomposition, and as alluvial deposits. Specific mineral examples and their uses in industries are provided. The presentation emphasizes the need to conserve mineral resources as they are finite. It includes maps and charts showing state-wise production data of various minerals in India

2. Introduction:
In this presentation we are going to talk about our
minerals. Their different types. We will also be
discussing about the occurrence of different minerals
and also how to conserve them. And then we would
have a look towards the data of 2003-04 production of
various minerals in various states.

3. Contents:
1. Classification Of Minerals.
2. Occurrence Of Minerals.
3. Uses Of Minerals In Various Industries.
4. Conservation Of Minerals.
5. Some Maps And Pie Charts.

5. Metallic Minerals:
Can be classed into three types:
1. Ferrous Containing: Minerals that contain iron in
them are said to be Ferrous Minerals. Eg:- iron ore,
manganese, nickle.
2. Non-ferrous: Minerals that dose not contain iron
are called Non-Ferrous Minerals. Eg:- copper, lead,
tin.
3. Precious: those minerals that occur natutrally and
have high economic value are known as Precious
Minerals. Eg:- gold, silver, platinum.

7. Non-metallic Minerals:
Minerals that appears to be dull and not really reflective
can be said Non-Metallic Minerals.
Eg:- mica, salt, potash, sulphur, granite, limestone,
marble etc.,

9. Energy minerals:
Minerals through which we obtain required energy for
our industrial as well as daily purposes is known as
Energy Minerals. Eg:- coal, petroleum and bio gas.

11. OCCURRENCE OF
MINERALS

12. Modes of occurrence:
In igneous and metamorphic rocks.
In sedimentary rocks.
While decomposition if surface of rocks.
As alluvial deposits.

13. 1.In igneous and metamorphic rocks
Minerals may occur in the cracks, crevices, faults or
joints of these rocks. In most cases they are found
when minerals in their different forms are forced
upward through cavities towards the earth surface.
They cool down and solidify as they rise up. Eg:-
copper, zinc, lead.

15. 2.In sedimentary rocks:
Here minerals occur in beds or layers. They form as a
result of deposition and getting concentrated in the
horizontal strata. Eg:- coal, gypsum, potash salt.

16. Clay stone

17. 3. While decomposition of surface of
rocks
In this the removal of soluble constituents take‘s
place and leaves residual mass of weathered
materials that contains ores. Eg:- Bauxite.

18. Bauxite extraction
DECOMPOSITION OF SURFACE OF ROCKS

19. 4.Alluvial deposits
Minerals can also occur in sand of valley floors and the
base of hills. These are called Placer Deposits.
Minerals found here can not be easily corroded by
water. Eg:- gold, silver, tin.

20. Alluvial deposit around Hudson
bay

22. Copper in chemical
industries
Manganese in paints
Silicon, limestone etc in paste And fluoride in cleaning teeth's
iron in automobiles Mica in electronic industries

23. Limestone in Cement industry Coal for power generation
Natural gas in petrochemical industry as raw material &
energy source
Fuel from petroleum for automobiles

25. We need to conserve our mineral resources because
even if they are more in quantity they are gonna to be
come to an end some or the other day. Even if they
are renewable resource the took millions of year to
get renew. That’s why we need to conserve our
mineral resources.

27. 1.Distribution of Coal, Oil and Natural Gas

28. 2.Distribution of Iron ore, Manganese, Bauxite and Mica

29. 3.Distribution of Nuclear and Thermal power plants

30. Production of iron ore showing
state wise share in per cent, 2003-04

31. Production of Manganese showing
state wise share in per cent, 2003-2004

32. Production of Copper showing state-wise
share in per cent, 2003-04

33. Production of Limestone showing statewise
share in per cent, 2003-04
