Ores are a type of [[stone]] that can be used to create [[metal]] bars and [[alloy]] bars at the [[smelter]].
−
'''Ores''' are a type of [[stone]] that can be used to create [[bar]]s of pure [[metal]]s and [[alloy]]s at the [[smelter]].  Many ores are quite valuable as mined, and a [[mason]] or [[stone crafter]] can work them the same as any stone.  However, ores fall into the [[economic stone]] category, and so must be designated for non-restricted use in the [[Status#Stone_Status_Screen|z-stone]] menu.  Others can be combined when initially smelted into alloys, while others must first be made into bars of pure metal and then ''those'' combined to create the desired alloy.

All ores are [[fire-safe]] material.  None are [[magma-safe]], even if the metal they create would be.

−
Note that in some cases ore [[value#material value|value]] (given below) and [[metal]] value are not the same (Bismuth, Iron ores). Alloys, too, often have a higher value than the ores/metals they are made of. In most cases furniture made from the ore is as valuable as furniture made from a pure (non-alloy) metal, while requiring one-third the raw materials and significantly less processing.
 
  
 
Metal ores with two possible metals listed below always create the first metal when [[smelting]], but have a chance of creating the second metal as well. Different rules apply to creating alloys.

Nearly all unmined ores are represented by the {{Raw Tile|£|7:7:1}} symbol.  Exceptions are native aluminum, bismuthinite, and magnetite (which appear as {{Raw Tile|^|7:7:1}}, {{Raw Tile|%|7:7:1}}, and {{Raw Tile|~|0:7:1}}, respectively), as well as cinnabar and cobaltite (which appear as {{Raw Tile|£|7:7:1}} but cannot be refined into mercury or cobalt as they would be in real life).

Note that in some cases ore value (given below) and [[metal]] value are not the same (Adamantine, Bismuth, Iron ores). Alloys too often have a higher value than the ores/metals they are made of.
