Ore study of economic geology, or ore genesis. The classifications below are typical. The basic extraction of ore deposits follows these steps: Ores (metals) are traded internationally and comprise a sizeable portion of international trade in raw materials both in value and volume. This is because the worldwide distribution of ores is unequal and dislocated from locations of peak demand and from smelting infrastructure. Most base metals (copper, lead, zinc, nickel) are traded internationally on the London Metal Exchange, with smaller stockpiles and metals exchanges monitored by the COMEX and NYMEX exchanges in the United States and the Shanghai Futures Exchange
Ore condition Ore condition In mathematics, especially in the area of algebra known as ring theory, the Ore condition is a condition introduced by Øystein Ore, in connection with the question of extending beyond commutative rings the construction of a field of fractions, or more generally localization of a ring. The "right Ore condition" for a multiplicative subset "S" of a ring "R" is that for and , the intersection . A (non-commutative) integral domain for which the set of non-zero elements satisfies the right Ore condition is called a right Ore domain. The left case is defined similarly. The goal is
