IV. PROCEDURES
A. Introduction Steps of Mineral
Processing

 The primary
steps
involved in
processing
minerals
include
sampling
and
analysis,
The saying “finding a needle in a haystack” is often associated to mineral
exploration. Why do you think so?

 Mineral deposits are aggregates of minerals present in high
concentration.
 Regardless of whether it has high economic value or none, an
accumulation of minerals is still considered mineral deposits.
comminution, concentration, and dewatering.
 Sampling is the removal of a portion which represents a whole
needed for the analysis of this material.
 Analysis is important to evaluate the valuable components in an ore.
This includes chemical, mineralogical, and particle size analysis.

 Mineral deposits can be categorized into four groups:  Comminution is the process where rock is crushed or broken down
B. Discussion into smaller pieces.

 Energy resources can be further divided into fossil fuels and nuclear
fuels.

organisms.  Density
separation is a process that uses the density of minerals as the
concentrating agent and performs a sink and float separation of
water and the grounded minerals.

Flotation separation is the most widely used method that makes use of the
mineral’s induced surface physicochemical properties.

Mineral Exploration
a. Define and  Searching for valuable ore is called mineral exploration.  Electrostatic separation is a process that separate the mineral
Discover particles based on their electric charges.

 Most ore deposits are found in

mixtures with minerals called
gangue minerals or minerals
that have no commercial
value.

Various exploration techniques were used to assess ore deposits:

 Remote sensing
Geophysical methods
Geochemical methods.

Remote sensing using satellite images

b. Develop and  Surface mining is being used to extract ore minerals near the surface
Demonstrate of Earth.  Dewatering uses the concentrates to convert it to usable minerals.

 Underground mining extract rocks, minerals, and other precious

stones that can be found deep the Earth’s surface
 Geologic factors that affect abundance of mineral deposits are

geological origin of the area.

 Economic factors include the costs in getting the supply such as
engineering, mineral extraction.
Mineral processing is the process of extracting minerals from the ores,
refining them, and preparing these minerals for use.
The primary steps involved in processing minerals include sampling and
analysis, comminution, concentration, and dewatering.
  Environmental factors affect mineral resources.

C. Practice and Mineral deposits are aggregates of minerals present in high concentration.
Feedback Searching for valuable ore is called mineral exploration. Why is sorting by hand considered an ineffective mineral separation
Mineral availability is affected by several factors such as geologic, economic, technique?
and environmental factors.
