 Description   

Not sure if this is a bug or intended behaviour. But it seems only a few specific ore types give experience (enchantment orbs) like coal, diamond or redstone but iron or gold ore does not give any orbs when mining them.

OMG! Never thought about placing it to mine it again for additional EXP. Thank you for pointing this out.

This is intended because otherwise you could mine iron ore, place it back down, mine it again, etc. to generate infinite XP

You get the XP when you smelt the ores in the oven. Not a bug, intended.
