[3.25] Can't upgrade town without ore, but I can't stop ore from being smelted.

I'm a bit stuck trying to upgrade my town, since it specifically requires, say, Bismuth or Verisium Ore. But, I can't seem to stop them from being smelted, even if I remove all workers from smelting them.

Has anyone come across this and figured out a clever workaround? Is there a way to revert some smelted bars back to ore so I can upgrade my town?

Any help appreciated!

Just put the smelters idle for some time.
It doesn't get you your ore back from already smelted bars but it'll help you keep your ore

Smelters who finish working their assigned ore will work on other ores. Same with miners.

If you want to be absolutely certain none of your Bismuth/Verisium ore will be smelted, then do not have smelters assigned to any ore.
Thanks to you both!
