Answer:
Sedimentary rocks are associated with ores of metals.

Ores are the concentration of minerals in rocks and rocks can have more than one ore and ore can have more than one metal. All the three types of rocks- igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary possess some of the below-mentioned rocks:
- Sedimentary rock- Limestone (Ca), dolomite (Mg, Ca), magnetite (Fe), hematite (Fe), bauxite (Al).
- Igneous - basalt, andesite, granite,
- Metamorphic- slate, quartzite, marble
Of all, sedimentary rocks contain maximum metal ore as they are rich in iron.
