¿Por qué es masculine?

Metales is masculine in Spanish because it derives from Latin "metallum," which was masculine, and Spanish generally preserved the gender of Latin nouns ending in -um (which typically became masculine -o nouns). This gender was simply inherited through the normal evolution of the language rather than following a specific rule about the word's meaning.
