How did it get off the planet with 20,000,000 tons of mineral ore?

The Nostromo itself was a hauling vehicle Benny
It was towing a refinery across space and didn't actually take the refinery onto planets itself
I'd imagine the ore was loaded onto the refinery at the location where the Nostromo picked it all up.
When the Nostromo visited LV-426 it detached itself from the refinery and went down onto the surface separate from the refinery. When it came back up from the surface it reattached itself to the refinery.
Had it completed its journey to Earth I'd imagine it would have undocked itself once more and gone about its business the way a tug boat does after it is finished towing larger floating structures
This is all explained in the movie

Photoshop is a graphic design software package

IT has many disciplines… Graphic design is not one of them.
I’ve paid my dues working crappy paid-by-hour jobs when I was a young man. They taught me a lot actually
