You're right, subscript formatting can be difficult to see in plain text tables.

Here's the table again

with a different approach to make the chemical formulas easier to understand:

Element Main Ore Chemical Formula

Aluminum (Al) Bauxite Al2O3.2H2O (Aluminum

oxide hydroxide)

Iron (Fe) Hematite Fe2O3 (Iron(III) oxide)

Copper (Cu) Chalcopyrite CuFeS2 (Copper iron

sulfide)

Zinc (Zn) Sphalerite ZnS (Zinc sulfide)

Sodium (Na) Rock Salt NaCl (Sodium chloride)

Potassium (K) Carnalite KCl.MgCl2.6H2O

(Potassium chloride
magnesium chloride
hexahydrate)

Lead (Pb) Galena PbS (Lead sulfide)

Tin (Sn) Cassiterite SnO2 (Tin(IV) oxide)

 Element Main Ore Chemical Formula

Silver (Ag) Argentite Ag2S (Silver sulfide)

Gold (Au) Calaverite AuTe2 (Gold telluride)

Calcium (Ca) Limestone CaCO3 (Calcium

carbonate)

Magnesium (Mg) Dolomite MgCO3.CaCO3

(Magnesium carbonate
calcium carbonate)

Mercury (Hg) Cinnabar HgS (Mercury sulfide)

This version provides both the chemical formula and a written explanation for easier
understanding.
