The classification of minerals are:
i). Metallic minerals: We get metals from these minerals. Ores of iron, copper, gold, silver, lead, aluminum, tin etc are important examples of metallic minerals. Metallic minerals can further be divided into ferrous and non-ferrous.
ii). Ferrous minerals: The minerals which contain iron ore are known as ferrous minerals. Iron ore, manganese, nickel, cobalt, etc are some of the important ferrous minerals.
iii). Non-ferrous minerals: Minerals containing metals other than iron ore are known as non-ferrous minerals. Gold, silver, platinum, etc are called non-ferrous minerals.
iv). Precious minerals: The minerals which have very high economic value are known as precious minerals for example gold, silver, platinum etc.
v). Non-metallic minerals: These are minerals which do not contain metals. Coal, petroleum, mica, manganese etc are some important non-metallic minerals. There is deficiency of copper, lead, zinc and gold.
vi). Energy minerals: The minerals which provide energy or power are known as energy minerals. Coal, petroleum and natural gas are the most important energy minerals.
