Answer:

Metallic ores occur in every kind of rock and some varieties of soil. The metallic minerals are concentrated into rich masses by igneous, hydrothermal, or erosional/weathering processes. Metals such as chromium, platinum, nickel, copper, and iron can precipitate as sulfide minerals in a cooling body of magma.
