Mineral processing increases the value of the ore. Ore is a raw material that contains a mixture of valuable minerals and gangue.
Mineral processing reduces the amount of ore.
Mineral processing allows the production of extensive volume material.
Mineral processing allows the extraction of metals from metallic ores.
Mineral processing minimizes losses of metals in the extractive metallurgy tails.
Mineral processing operations are cheap processes.
Mineral processing operations are friendly to the environment
