There are various methods depending on which ore it is. Most start with physically crushing to ore into small pieces. The ore is then exposed to a combination of heat, chemicals and physical processes that result in a liquid molten metal that is poured into ingots.

What are the reasons for exploiting metal ores?
The obvious reason: the exploiter hopes to extract enough metal from the ore to turn a profit.
How does a industrial chemist make an ore into a metal?
The Industrial Chemist doesn't, though may discover the process or improvements to it. The smelting-plant or refinery and its staff carry out the operation itself. The process for most ores is one of reduction, particularly the removal of oxygen, of the compound that is the ore mineral itself. The process is specific to the ore, as well.
Is ore metal or non metal?
"Ore" is a mixture of some kind of metal that you are trying to extract, and the rock that is generally mixed in with it.
What metal ore was introduced in Africa around the seventh century?
iron-ore
What are the metals called which occur in the rocks in the form of?
The metal in rocks is metal ore. Copper ore, iron ore, and so on. In general, once the ore has been quarried or mined, the ore is crushed and smelted (heated to a high temperature) allowing the now molten metal to be retrieved. The waste rock is dumped. Further processing is needed to obtain a finished metal in as pure a state as possible.
What is the process when you separate a metal from its ore?
Smelting
After miners remove ore from a mine what process removes the metal from the ore?
Smelting
Process in which an ore is melted to separate the useful metal from other elements the ore contains?
Smelting
How do you get it out of the ground and make it into the metal?
First you have to mine it which gives you ore. then the raw ore has to go through the smelting process which separates the impurities from the metal.
What happens when making metal?
You can not actually make metal but you can obtain metal from an ore of that metal. The ore is a chemical compound of that metal and the process of smelting the ore involvesf breaking the compound up using heat and "reducing it" essentially removing oxygen - to leave the pure metal.
What is the process in which an ore is melted to separate the metal from other elements?
The process is called - smelting
What process separates metal from its ore by heating at a high temperature?
SMELTING
What are the uses of ORe?
Ore, as in rocks which contain sufficient metal to extract and it is economical to do so. Ores include bauxite, a copper ore. Ores can be used to extract precious metals which in turn can be used for electrical wiring, in the case of copper or as a catalyst, in the case of Haematite, Iron ore (the haber process).
What is an ore that is mixed with other substances and then melt to separate the useful metal from other elements the ore contains in the process?
Hfet
Describe the process used to extract metal from hematite ore?
go do it youself! :)
What is the process of obtaining pure metal from ore called?
is it called purification or refining
The process in which an ore is melted to separate the useful metal form other elements is?
smelting
