Can a new volcano have metals inside?

If I were to use handwavium to raise a volcano in the middle of the sea, would it contain metals or ores large enough to be extracted by normal means, like mining with a pickaxe?

Everything apart from me ordering nature to make a new volcano would be natural processes. The process will take 100 years and after that the volcano will be as big as old Krakatoa. Once it reaches a desirable size the volcanic activity will stop and the whole thing will start cooling down. The inside of the volcano is filled with gas and once it cools down the top of the volcano will collapse.

Could there be metals inside? If it was a volcano with a lava pool in the middle will there be metals inside?
