To refine an ore means to extract the valuable metal that is inside the ore.
Bauxite is the principal ore of aluminium.
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.
An important ore of uranium is called Pitchblende.
Hematite is a mineral made of iron and oxygen. It can be gray, red, or brown.
Iron is the mineral. Iron is an element and as such, is not composed of any other materials, though iron ore comes out of the ground mixed with many other minerals. The ore must then be processed to extract the pure iron for practicle use.
Lead is not an ore. Lead is a metal which is obtained by refining lead ore (or which may be a byproduct of the refinement of other metals).
An ore is a rock or mineral from which a valuable metal can be obtained through refining processes.

is it called purification or refining
The steps of concentration of ore include crushing and grinding the ore to reduce its size, separating the desired mineral from the gangue using physical or chemical methods (such as gravity separation or froth flotation), and further refining the concentrate to remove impurities. The final step involves smelting or refining the concentrated ore to extract the desired metal.
No, the process of removing iron from ore is called extracting or refining. Smelting is a different process that involves heating the ore to extract metal from it.
is it cheaper and more concentarted
Mining involves extracting ore from the earth's crust. Smelting involves heating the ore to high temperatures to extract the desired mineral or element. Refining further purifies the extracted material to remove impurities and produce a usable product.
Refining Iron from ore requires a lot more heat than formulating bronze.
Ore is a mineral that can be refined into some useful substance, which is usually a metal. Iron ore is the rock from which iron is refined.
