Have you tried changing the ore type in the blacksmithing menu? I believe the default is regular iron.
There should be something near the bottom left corner of the menu gump you can click on to change the ore type.
I think around 70 you can do dull copper and shadow isn't far behind. Your mining doesn't help smithing as far as skill level for the different types of ore.
