Solution

The answer is True: Although fluorite and native sulfur are not metallic minerals, deposits of these materials are still called ore deposits.

Explanation:

Ore deposits are defined as naturally occurring concentrations of minerals that can be economically extracted for use.
The term "ore" is not limited to metallic minerals. It can also refer to non-metallic minerals that have economic value.
Fluorite (calcium fluoride) and native sulfur are examples of non-metallic minerals that are mined for their industrial uses.
Therefore, deposits of fluorite and native sulfur are indeed considered ore deposits because they are mined for their economic value.
