Explanation

Bauxite is the principal ore of aluminium. It is the primary commercial source of aluminium, containing aluminium hydroxides and oxide minerals. Dolomite is a carbonate mineral (source of magnesium), Copper is itself an element, and Lignite is a low-grade coal - none of these are aluminium ores.
