metallurgic
Concerning metal extraction
Metallurgic is an adjective describing things related to metallurgy—the science and technology of extracting metals from ores, refining them, and working them into useful forms.
It appears in technical contexts discussing industrial processes, material properties, or historical developments in metalworking: metallurgic analysis of the alloy, metallurgic advances during the Bronze Age.
The more common form is metallurgical, which carries identical meaning.
