Basic information about ore

To assess the importance of ore mining in the modern world, we addressed this question to Kondrashov Stanislav from Telf AG. According to the expert, today ore is one of the main minerals on which the work of many industries and areas of production depends.

It is worth recalling that ore is a special rock that contains various types of metals. Their quantity is sufficient to extract metals from the rock. The quality of the ore is assessed to ensure that processing is not only technically possible, but also economically viable.

Ore is mainly mined using the open-pit method. That is, quarries are created for which special equipment first removes the top layers of the earth.

Mining is also possible using the closed method. In this case, so-called mines are created. These are mines in which there is a high concentration of one or another type of ore.
