Answer 8

Metallurgy, which basically is the study of the structure and properties of metals, their extraction from the ground, and the procedures for refining, alloying, and making things from them.

A person in this profession would be a metallurgist

Answer 9

I'm a metallurgist. And, I do not dig under the ground for metal ores.  A person with this job would be called an "Underground Hard Rock Miner" and less commonly called a “Hard Rock Underground Miner."

Hard Rock (or hardrock) mining is done for mining of metal containing ores vs. mining for softer minerals like coal.

The Department of Labor (DOL) recognizes two classifications of miners: Underground and Surface. The two types of mining present different environments, hazards, and mining equipment.
