Mineral Uses Minerals are all around us and we use them everday. With a neighbor, brainstorm at least 3 minerals that you use everyday.

Ore – a mineral that contains a valuable substance that can be mined Gold Ore

Bauxite An ore of aluminum. It is lightweight and strong.

Aluminum uses:

Silver ore uranium ore

Iron Ores Hematite and magnetite are ores of iron

Iron is very strong and durable. It is used to make steel and many other things.

Galena is an ore of lead.

Gem – mineral valued for beauty and rarity; very hard

Corrundum uncut cut/polished

Diamond uncut cut/polished

Minerals are extracted in mines. 1)Underground mines target the specific mineral being harvested. -Very dangerous: poor air quality, very dark, can sometime cave in.

Underground Mines

Open Pit Mines – very damaging to the environment. -Strip mine – everything is stripped away. -Quarry = a rock mine.

Open Pit Mines – strip mine

Open Pit Mines

Open Pit Mines - Quarry

Open Pit Mines – Strip Mines

Because of the damage to the environment, most states require reclamation. Reclamation – mining companies are required by law to clean up their mess.
