Hi Reshma,

◆ Factors affecting exploitation of minerals -

• High grade ores are more economic as metal content is more & they are more easier/cheaper to extract.
• Size of the deposits affect the profit claimed.
• Shaft mining is much more expensive than open-cast mining.
• Region of mineral occurrence should be accessible & transportation facilities should be available.
• Modern technology should be employed for mineral extraction.
• Industrial development, labor supply, etc also affect ore exploitation of minerals.

Hope this helps you. Thanks for asking..
