Metallic ores are rocks that contain metals.
Sometimes it contains a metal compound, like Hematite, an ore of Iron, Fe2O3, for example. They can also contain metals that are found in their pure form, like copper (which can form compounds, but not usually when found in ore) and Gold (which does not form compounds). This is known as a 'native' metal.

Are metal ores synthetic?
No, metal ores occur naturally in the Earth.
Why aren't metal ores useful?
Metal ores are refined into metal. Metal is very useful, hence, metal ore is also useful.
What is oxide ores?
Those ores which contain metal in the form of oxides are called as oxide ores.
What are metal ores used for?
no
What non metal is used to remove oxygen from metal ores?
Carbon, usually in impure form such as coal or coke, is often used to remove oxygen from metal ores.

What are factories that make metal ores called?
Factories do not make metal ore. A refinery or smelter makes metal from metal ores.
Does metal come from ores?
From various minerals and ores which are mined. Which metal depends on which mineral is mined.

Those ores which contain metal in the form of oxides are called as oxide ores.

no
Are vein minerals metal deposits that occur in cracks in rocks?
Yes and No, while some metal ores may indeed be vein minerals, not all vein minerals are metal ores and not all metal ores are vein minerals.
Why is there no mining in Antarctica's mineral minerals?
They aren't considered to be ores because ores are partly mineral and partly metal. The metal deposits are purely metal.
What substances contains metal?
ores

Carbon, usually in impure form such as coal or coke, is often used to remove oxygen from metal ores.
What are metal oars?
Metal ores are metallic elements found in compounds with other elements in nature. These ores are then separated to produce pure metals.
