Ore be processed and what ore is of too low a grade to be worth mining. Metal ores are generally oxides, sulfides, silicates, or native metals (such as native copper) that are not commonly concentrated in the Earth's crust, or noble metals (not usually forming compounds) such as gold. The ores must be processed to extract the elements of interest from the waste rock and from the ore minerals. Ore bodies are formed by a variety of geological processes. The process of ore formation is called ore genesis. An ore deposit is an accumulation of ore. This is distinct from a
Ore condition condition ensures "R" is an essential submodule of "D". Lastly, there is even an example of a domain in a division ring which satisfies "neither" Ore condition (see examples below). Another natural question is: "When is a subring of a division ring right Ore?" One characterization is that a subring "R" of a division ring "D" is a right Ore domain if and only if "D" is a flat left "R"-module . A different, stronger version of the Ore conditions is usually given for the case where "R" is not a domain, namely that there should be a common multiple
