Answer

A is false but R is true.

Explanation — The leaching method is used for the concentration of metals like aluminium, silver and gold. Hence, assertion (A) is false.
The ore is treated with a suitable reagent like acid, base or some other reagent, such that the ore is soluble in it but the impurities are not. The impurities are removed by filtration. Hence, reason (R) is true.
