(I) Mineral...........
Minerals are substances that are formed naturally in the Earth. Minerals are usually solid, inorganic, have a crystal structure, and form naturally by geological processes. The study of minerals is called mineralogy. Amineral can be made of single chemical element or more usually a compound.
Example-aluminium, magnesium, iron, calcium, sodium, and potassium. Some important rock-forming silicates include the feldspars, quartz, olivines, pyroxenes, amphiboles, garnets, and micas.
(ii) Ore..........
A naturally occurring mineral or rock from which a valuable or useful substance, especially a metal, can be extracted at a reasonable cost.
Example- cinnabar (HgS), an ore of mercury, sphalerite (ZnS), an ore of zinc, orcassiterite (SnO2), an ore of tin (Mineral).
(iii) Gangue
Gangue is valueless mineral associated with avaluable mineral that can economically be utilized.
Example- An example of gangue is the rock surrounding a deposit of gold.
