What to Focus On

  • Metals occur in the earth’s crust mainly as minerals and ores.
  • Ore is a mineral from which metal can be extracted economically.
  • Gold, silver, and copper can occur in native state.
  • Ores are classified as oxide, sulphide, chloride, carbonate, or sulphate ores.
  • Ore type helps decide the extraction method.
  • Many sulphide and carbonate ores must first be converted into oxides.
  • Gangue is the unwanted impurity in an ore.
  • Concentration removes gangue before extraction.
  • Froth flotation is used for sulphide ores.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

All minerals are ores.

Aluminium is extracted from any aluminium-containing mineral because it is the most common metal in the Earth's crust.

Metals found in nature are usually in the free state because metals are always unreactive.
