Types of Ore. Ore is rock that contains economic amounts of a particular element, e.g. gold ore, iron ore, molybdenum ore, or praseodimium ore. In contrast, rock that is not judged to contain economic quantities of an element is categorized as waste rock.The metals in ore can occur in many different minerals (compounds) in the rock.As an example, copper occurs in more than 50 minerals with varying percentages of copper in the chemical formulas of those minerals. The richest grade of copper ore is native copper, which is pure copper (100%).he metals in ore can occur in many different minerals (compounds) in the rock.

Iron ore is the raw material used to make pig iron, which is one of the main raw materials to make steel.98% of the mined iron ore is used to make steel. Indeed, it has been argued that iron ore is more integral to the global economy than any other commodity, except perhaps oil.he ores are usually rich in iron oxides and vary in color from dark grey, bright yellow, deep purple, to rusty red. The iron itself is usually found in the form of magnetite (Fe 3O 4, 72.4% Fe), hematite (Fe 2O 3, 69.9% Fe), goethite (FeO(OH) , 62.9% Fe), limonite (FeO(OH).n(H2O)) or siderite (FeCO3, 48.2% Fe).
