Mineral processing is the separation of the mineral from the gangue To make sure all the minerals are extracted from the gangue it is reprocessed a few times Waste rock This is the huge mass of initial rock and soil that is separated from the earth in order to get to the deposit of minerals Approximately five tons of waste rock are usually
