The various theories of ore genesis explain how the various types of mineral deposits form within the Earth’s crust. Ore genesis theories are dependent on the mineral or commodity. As a
Ore is a mineral substance (rock) from which it is economically feasible to extract useful components (metals). The main criterion for classifying ores was the difference in the
20241030;There are three major types of ore genesis: internal processes, hydrothermal processes, and surficial processes. Ore can accumulate through geologic activity, such as when volcanoes bring ore from deep in the planet to
