No, I think it's some kind of metal ore.

As an example, the process of mining iron ore was developed by the US based Iron Ore Company of Canada.

Today, we can produce virgin metal from ore at a cost of less than 50 cents a pound.

There is substantial mining of non ferrous metals (copper, zinc, lead and gold) and of iron ore.

(For example, the viability of a mining project is contingent on the price of gold if the price is too low, management will abandon the mining rights, if sufficiently high, management will develop the ore body.

Similarly, as large mining projects stalled, India had to resort to higher imports of coal and scrap iron, while its exports of iron ore dwindled.

Such mining does have the potential, in many cases, of becoming medium scale and large scale based on increased potential ore reserves and their geographical location.

It was stated that to make a mining venture viable it would require the aggregate metal prices to double at their current level.

That working paper gave a pessimistic assessment of the economic viability of seabed mining which was attributed to the state of the metal markets.

For each resource, this would provide the potential for locating a mineable area with at least 40 million tons of ore capable of sustaining a mining operation for 20 years.

One of the iron ore concessions in Sierra Leone is estimated to hold 10.5 billion tons of ore.

In Cambodia, an average of 129 pieces of harmless metal are found and uncovered for every mine found and uncovered, greatly slowing the de mining process.

But the iron ore companies have gotten a windfall gain as iron ore prices have soared (nearly doubling since 2007).

It concluded that, given the metal price outlook, deep seabed mining for polymetallic nodules was unlikely to be undertaken on a commercial basis for the foreseeable future.

It stated that in the light of the prevailing economic trends, particularly the metal prices for cobalt, copper, manganese and nickel, increases in aggregate metal prices, to as high as twice their levels at March 1985, would be required to make the mining venture viable.

These activities cover the entire range of mineral development, planning and management the Department apos s technical expertise addresses, inter alia, exploration, evaluation and feasibility studies, mining and ore processing, investment promotion and marketing.
