Metal is extracted from the crushed ore by one of two major methods: smelting or electrolysis. Smelting uses heat to separate the valuable metal from the rest of the ore. Smelting usually requires a reduction agent, or another chemical, to separate metal from its ore.

How is Metal Made? Most of the metal on Earth, especially iron, is found within the Earth's core. Metal is scattered unevenly throughout the Earth's crust, mixed with rock, and combined with oxygen and other elements. Some rock types, such as granite, only hold trace amounts of metal.

Many metals are extracted from the Earth's Crust, usually mixed in with rocks and minerals in deposits underground, also commonly called Ore. These need to be extracted and refined before being useful materials.
