What are the names of ores?
not clear what you want. the other guy does a good job of pointing out how the subject can be looked at and categorized in several different ways. You need to be more specific, really.
Ores can be named on the basis of several different criteria: 1) The element sought - for example, gold ore, iron ore 2) The mineral involved for example haematite, chalcopyrite, ilmenite 3) The method of emplacement - for example alluvial, volcanic, sedimentary 4) the timing of ore formation - for example epigenetic which means the ore was formed after the host rock 5) the economics of extraction - for example high grade, marginal 6) The degree of exploration done - for example proven, probable, inferred 7) The geological structure - for example massive, layered, stockwork, vein What did you have in mind?
