Each type of ore has their own ratio of impurities and the time necessary to remove. Since the Ores are riddled with impurities most of the Ore will be processed away leaving behind only the base element. Each Ore once mined from an ore vein from an Asteroid, Moon, or Planet is in a very impure form that is mixed up with other elements and contaminated with impurities not suited for fashioning into useful Components, the Refinery for lack of a better word Refines the ores into their pure forms much like Smelting.
