Mineral and Water Function Minerals are a vital part of the body in many aspects. The functions of minerals vary by the mineral. Some minerals help in developing bone structures such as calcium‚ other assist in energy regulation‚ and some even assist with genetics. The amount of these minerals that the body needs also varies depending on the mineral. There are two types of minerals‚ major minerals and trace elements. We find the minerals that our bodies need from animals and plants‚ the amount of

All minerals have four properties: 1. All minerals are naturally occurring 2. All minerals are inorganic (that means non-living) 3. A different chemical formula can be written for each mineral and that formula is constant for that mineral. ex. Galena is PbS- that is it has one lead atom (Pb) and one sulfur (S) atom in each molecule. 4. Most minerals have an unique crystalline shape given the right growing conditions (like in a cave). Compounds are substances that has two or

Mineral Exploration Mineral exploration is the initial stage of the mining cycle. It is a sequential process of information gathering that assesses the mineral potential of a given area. In simple words it is the search for mineral deposits. The reason of exploration is to trace a new source of metal or useful minerals. This includes industrial minerals like silica or clay minerals‚ metals like iron‚ lead‚ zinc‚ etc.‚ and precious metals and gemstones like gold and diamonds. Types of Mineral Exploration
