Answer 2

After the ore has been mined, the process of metallurgy removes the metal from the ore.

• The process of metallurgy is employed to separate the pure metal from its ores.
• This process is a commercially viable process.
• Before the separation, firstly minerals are extracted from the earth's crust. Minerals are naturally occurring and are obtained by mining in particular regions.
• Metals which are found to be of use in minerals commercially are called ores. Ores also possess impurities called gangue which are later removed in order to obtain pure metal.
