Question

ores of metal are mostly found in which form​

Answer 1

Answer:

Only two metals, gold and platinum, are found principally in their native state, and in both cases the native metals are the primary ore minerals. Silver, copper, iron, osmium, and several other metals also occur in the native state, and a few occurrences are large enough—and sufficiently rich—to be ore deposits.

Answer 2

Most metals are found as types of rock in the Earth's crust. These ores contain sufficient minerals with important elements including metals that can be economically extracted from the rock.

Earth's crust

• Most metals are extracted from ores found in the Earth's crust. It is more expensive and wasteful to extract a metal from a low-grade ore, but most high-grade ores have already been used.
