Solution:
(1) Calcination is the process in which the ore is heated below its melting point, either in the absence or in a limited supply of air, in an aim to drive off volatile expunges, moisture, water of hydrates and organic matter from the ore. All ores are minerals but all minerals are not ores.
(2)Smelting is a process when a metal which is more reactive than copper needs to be extracted. For example, zinc is more reactive than copper so it has to be extracted by smelting.
(3) Ores are solid material from which a pure metal can be obtained. The process of removal of unwanted material from the ore is known as concentration or dressing or benefaction of ores.
So Calcination, Smelting, Concentration or all the processes used in metallurgy.
