The document discusses mineral resources and the processes involved in mining ores. It addresses key questions about minerals that play major roles in daily life, what would happen to society without mineral products, how ore minerals are found and mined, and the processes for extracting mineral resources. The document outlines the general steps in mining, including prospecting, drilling, designing the mine, ore extraction, milling, and site decommissioning. It also addresses how mining processes can impact the environment.

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?

16. ORES AND MINERAL
RESOURCE

17. What is an ore?

18. ORES
Naturally occurring
materials that can be
profitably mined.

19. ORE
Contains useful metals and
non metals that has
economical value

20. ORES
Not all rocks/minerals
that contains useful
metals and non metals is
considered as ore.

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?

25. What are the
factors to consider
when finding location
of mining ores?

27. GEOLOGIC PROCESS
Continuous processes
occurring inside and on the
surface of the Earth.

28. GEOLOGIC
PROCESSES
EXOGENIC
PROCESSES
Geological events which
originate externally to the
Earth’s surface
ENDOGENIC
PROCESSES
Geological events which
originate from within the
