This tool finds and designates for digging one tile of a specific metal ore. If you want to dig all tiles of that kind of ore, highlight that tile with the keyboard cursor and run digtype <dig>.
By default, the tool only searches ore veins that your dwarves have discovered.
Note that looking for a particular metal might find an ore that contains that metal along with other metals. For example, locating silver may find tetrahedrite, which contains silver and copper.
