All of the metallic ores such as magnetite, pyrite, bauxite, hematite etc. can be called metallic minerals. Non-Metallic Minerals: These minerals do not contain any metals, so they generally have non-metallic physical properties. Though we cannot extract metals from these minerals, non-metallic minerals are still of immense use to humankind.
