Granite is a light-colored igneous rock with grains large enough to be visible with the unaided eye. It forms from the slow crystallization of magma below Earth's surface. Granite is composed mainly of quartz and feldspar with minor amounts of mica, amphiboles, and other minerals. This mineral composition usually gives granite a red, pink, gray ...

Aluminum (Al) Ore. Aluminum ore, also known as bauxite, is a naturally occurring mineral rock that contains aluminum in the form of aluminum oxide (Al2O3) mixed with various impurities. Bauxite is the primary source of aluminum, which is one of the most abundant elements in the Earth's crust, comprising about 8% by weight.

Igneous rocks (from the Latin word for fire) form when hot, molten rock crystallizes and solidifies. The melt originates deep within the Earth near active plate boundaries or hot spots, then rises toward the surface. Igneous rocks are divided into two groups, intrusive or extrusive, depending upon where the molten rock solidifies.Intrusive Igneous …

Modified date: 23/04/2023. Porphyry deposits are a type of mineral deposit that form from large-scale hydrothermal systems associated with intrusive igneous rocks. They are characterized by the presence of porphyritic rocks that contain large crystals (phenocrysts) surrounded by a fine-grained matrix (groundmass).

Elevated ore-metal abundances are well known in some unmineralized intrusive rock associated with metal deposits, which suggests that data of this sort could be diagnostic of intrusions with potential for associated mineral deposits (du Bray et al., 1988; Borrok et al., 1999).

Compared to sedimentary rocks, igneous rocks are much tougher and more resistant to high temperatures. Given that these rocks were created from hot, molten magma (625–1200° C), which occurs below the earth's surface, their resistance to severe heat is reasonable. The majority of igneous formations have several mineral deposits.
