WHAT IS SMELTING?
Smelting is a process for extracting usable ore from mixed deposits where people find ore bound with other metals, rock, and extraneous material. It is very unusual to find deposits of pure ore and this method allows people to separate out useful metals. The invention of this process was an important step in the development of human societies, allowing people to make more complex metal products and alloys.
