"Studying ore" may be grammatically correct. However, it sounds rather odd in practice. Ore is a general term for a mineral, and mineralogy is the academic field that covers the study of minerals, including their distribution, identification and properties.. Therefore, please don’t say, “someone is studying ore.”
