The above statement is false.
Minerals are compounds with a definite chemical composition, found on the Earth’s surface at definite depths and places. However, these minerals do not exist in pure forms on the surface. They are found as a mixture of two or more minerals or have some impurities. Ores refer to a group of minerals having an indefinite composition from which metals can be extracted commercially. All the elements have their respective ores though only a few are commercially exploited depending on mineral quantity and ease of extraction.
The correct statement would be Ores and minerals are not the same.
