No it is not. Soil is simply a deposit of organic material, an ore is something which contains enough of a metal to make its extraction worth while e.g FeO (Iron oxide)
Kimberlite, images below, is an indicator mineral. It is usually found in pipes that can also contain diamonds, which are often loose in the same soil. Ore is a term used with soil that contains metals. Soil that contains diamonds is called a volcanic pipe. See related link below to learn more about Kimberlite.

Mangenite is magneisum ore. Haemetite is iron ore. Malakite is copper ore. Bauxite is aluminum ore.
Because - the mining company simply 'strips' off the surface layer of soil to get at the layer of ore underneath.
Examples: iron ore, soil, concrete.
It is full of cinnamon ore.
Bauxite is found in ore. Ore contains many components that need filtered out or melted down so they separate from each other. As a simple example, regular soil contains many components by itself. Imagine dropping wet macaroni into a handful of soil, so soil sticks to the macaroni. Here, you would need to wash the handful of soil to make it "separate" from the macaroni pieces. But the soil itself would still contain other matter and metals. The main difference with ore, especially since ore often contains sticky clay dirt, you must apply lots of heat to separate the components found in ore.
the big dredges have big bucket type things that dig up dirt and separates the ore from the soil.

Smelting: Mined out of the ground, raw ore is a mixture of materials called ore proper and loose earth called gangue (waste). The ore proper is separated by crushing the raw ore are simply washing away the lighter soil. Breaking down the ore from its impurities is more difficult.
Pure iron has just iron in it. As an ore it is a mixture of other minerals and soil as well.
Ore, soil, and timber are three of a forest's natural resources.
