Economic definition of minerals• Ore• Gangue• Common gangue minerals in gold ores include
quartz, fluorite, calcite and pyrite, but many others can be found in smaller amounts.

Development of mining technology
• The long period of prehistoric times is divided into different ages which are named from the material which man used in the manufacture of his weapons and tools. The earliest time is known as the Paleolithic or Old Stone Age; the following one as the Neolithic or New Stone Age; and the later period as the Age of Metals.

definitions
• prehistoric times refers to all the time preceding
human existence and the invention of writing• Paleo- lithic, old-stone• Old stone age Paleolithic is the period during
which human beings lived entirely by hunting• Neolithic is the following interval during which
plant and animal domestication started

Development of mining technology
• Mining starts 450,000 years ago.• Flint (or flintstone) is a hard, sedimentary form
of the mineral quartz categorized as a variety of chert.
• Flint was used for the manufacture of flint tools during the Stone Age as it splits into thin, sharp splinters called flakes or blades (depending on the shape) when struck by another hard object.
