Sand and gravl for construction in USA app. 790 million mtric tons = $6 billion in Clays ar quarrid for us in cramics, brickmaking. Ston is quarrid for construction matrial and road-building aggrgat. Strs Pit sand min, Northport, NY circa 1960 thr Minral Rsourcs Nativ lmnts - natural occurrncs of singl lmnt minrals (g. Gold). Simpl compounds (g. NaCl) thr complx ions (g.

Whthr or not a body of rock is an or dpnds on th pric of th mtal commodity. Low grad dposits bcom ors if th pric is high nough.
11 Currnt Pric Simpl Compounds r minrals - mind to obtain valuabl lmnts. Ratio of valuabl to non-valuabl lmnts in compound is high. Easy to sparat valuabl and non-valuabl. Economically fasibl to min and procss. xid family - valuabl lmnt + oxygn. Sulfid family - valuabl lmnt + sulfur. Iron xids Hmatit (F 2 3 ) Magntit (F 3 4 ) Which is mor valuabl, a ton of hmatit or a ton of magntit? Why?
12 Bandd Iron Formations Enormous quantitis of iron oxid wr dpositd around th world btwn 3.0 and 2.0 billion yars ago, forming our richst dposits of iron or. Dissolvd iron pumpd into th ocans by volcanism along mid-ocan ridgs ractd with oxygn bing producd by photosynthsizing bactria, prcipitating out layrs of magntit (F34). Coppr xid Titanium xid Cuprit (Cu2) Ilmnit (FTi3) Uranium xid Nuclar Fission Uraninit (U2) Uranium 235 is th ful usd in nuclar fission ractors.

Salt Min nar Gnso, NY Aluminum r Bauxit (AlH3) Bauxit bing loadd for xport from th Dominican Rpublic Ar w running out of mtals? Thr ar vast quantitis of usful mtals in th crust of th Earth. Shortag of a mtal drivs up th pric, which maks it conomically fasibl to min lowr grad ors. Mining has nvironmntal costs - traditionally ths hav not bn factord into th cost of th commodity. Mtals ar usually not consumd - thy can b rcycld. Economics of rcycling would b bttr if nvironmntal costs wr factord in.
