This book explains the various types of ores and how the ores are used to make copper, aluminum, steel, etc.

There is a glossary, and a list of ore types, but only a few of the types listed appear in the actual text.

This book is scant on information, although the photos are interesting.

If the other books in this series are as sparse as Ores is, they would not even begin to compared to the Rock-Ology series.
