In mining industry, the ore is mined & treated for extraction of metal from ore. So, ore and waste separation is very crucial for mining and to ensure a grade of ore that could be converted into metal. Prior to mining, exploration is required to demarcate the ore body for mining and characterize the waste for better planning. This paper tends to classify the ore and waste (Zinc, Lead type of deposit) that is very complex in nature from point of ore body configuration and continuity for mining. Since the existing literature has not used the neural networks to determine the prospects of an area for these ores, this study has made an attempt at classifying these deposits as ore or waste using neural networks.
