Question

do you agree with the statement "all ores are minerals but all minerals need not to be ores?"why?

Answer 1

Yes.For example bauxite is an ore of aluminium, so bauxite is also a mineral.
Clay is a mineral and it cannot be a ore.
So all ores are minerals but all minerals need not to be ores

Answer 2

the natural material in the earth in which metal or its compounds occur is called mineral...
the mineral from which a metal may be extracted profitably is called an ore...
hence all ores are minerals..but all minerals are not ores..
i think it helps u alot..
