Refine, as ore (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

smelt

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">refine as ore</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for smelt that I've seen before include "Fish related to the salmon (which ponged?)" , "sensed as fishy?" , "Arab leader" , "Got a whiff of" , "were high" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times and the Universal.
