It would be great if people would actually research the facts before posting incorrect answers. I have limited the metals to those that are elemental to eliminate the many alloys with specialized properties, like those used in gas turbine engines. Including these would make the search almost impossible. Here are the answers with references.
Metal with highest melting point: Tungsten
Metal with lowest melting point: Mercury (it's one of four metals that's liquid at or near room temperature, of which it has the lowest melting point)
Hardest material (metal or non-metal): Diamond

Boron Nitride is the hardest material for commercial application. Silicon Carbide is another closest contender. The metal with highest melting point is Tungsten (i m not sure) the lowest is lead
