Difference between ore and mineral

1.	Difference between ore and mineral
Answer» Minerals are naturally occurring chemical substances. They are present in earth\'s crust and obtained by mining. Ores are the minerals from which a metal can be economically and conveniently extracted.Thus, bauxite\xa0(Al2\u200bO3\u200b⋅2H2\u200bO) and clay\xa0(Al2\u200bO2\u200b⋅2SiO2\u200b⋅2H2\u200bO) are minerals of\xa0Al. However, bauxite is an ore of Al\xa0as\xa0Al\xa0can be economically and conveniently extracted from bauxite.
