什么是 Ore deposit?

Definition 29.4 University Earth and Space Sciences — Year 2 · 第 29 章 — Ore Deposits

An ore deposit is a body of rock in which natural processes have concentrated an element or a mineral to a grade above the cut-off, over a tonnage large enough for it to be extracted at a profit. It is both a geological object, defined by the processes that made it, and an economic one, defined by prices, costs and technology.
