Metallurgy is the process of extraction of metals from their ores.
What are minerals?
Answer
The elements or compounds of metals that occur in nature in the earth crust are called minerals.
What are ores?
Answer
The minerals from which metals are extracted without economical loss are called ores.
Why are all ores minerals, but all minerals not ores?
Answer
An ore is a mineral from which metal can be extracted economically. A mineral may contain a metal, but if extraction is not economical, it is not an ore.
Why are gold, silver, and copper sometimes found in free state in nature?

They are least reactive metals, so they do not combine easily with other elements and can occur in native state.
What is gangue?

Gangue is the impurity present in an ore along with the mineral or metal compound.
What is concentration or dressing of ore?
Answer
Concentration or dressing means getting rid of as much unwanted rocky material as possible from the ore.
Why is froth flotation used for sulphide ores?

It is mainly useful for sulphide ores because sulphide ore particles do not get wetted easily, while the impurities get wetted. Air bubbles carry the ore to the top as froth.
