Smelting
Ore is not a form of metal, it is a form of stone, from which metal can be extracted.
You have to mine the metal ore (an ore is a rock containing a metal compound) before you can extract the metal from it.
The type of ore will determine the type of metal. Iron ore yields Iron. Silver ore yields silver. Gold ore yields gold.

how do i get a metal ore
During the late Middle Ages and Renaissance, miners digging for copper in the German region of Sachsen encountered ore that smelted into both that metal and a much harder silvery metal. Its hardness gave them so much difficulty that the miners thought it had been placed there by the devil.The new metal was soon called Kupfernickel, or "Old Nick's copper", using a slang name for the devil. When the Swedish mineralogist and chemist Baron Axel Fredrik Cronstedt finally isolated the substance in 1751 he simply eliminated "Kupfer" from Kupfernickel in the same way he had eliminated copper from the ore, giving the metal its modern name.
