I believe the answer is:

miner

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'one might take ore fragment' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'from seam in error' is the wordplay.
'from' indicates a hidden word.
'MINER' can be found hidden inside 'seam in error'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for miner that I've seen before include "Bevin boy" , "Digger for gold or coal, say" , "Man of 49" , "Coal worker" , "One sent down for work" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
