Question

why all minerals are not ore but all ores are minerals​

Answer 1

Answer:

Minerals are naturally occurring inorganic solids with a crystalline structure and a definite range of chemical formula. ... Ores are concentrations of minerals in rock that are high enough to be economically extracted for use. Chalcopyrite is the ore for Copper. All ores are minerals but all minerals are not ores.

Answer 2

Answer:

Minerals are naturally occurring chemical compounds in the earth's crust.

Out of many minerals in which a metal may be found, only a few minerals are chemically and commercially viable to be used as sources for the extraction of the metal.

Such minerals are known as Ores.

Example → Aluminum metal is found in both minerals : clay and bauxite. Aluminum metal is extracted only from bauxite in a convenient way.

Hence, all ores are minerals but all minerals are not ores.
