- You have struck iron ore!
Hematite ore can be smelted at a smelter by a dwarf with the furnace operating labor activated to produce iron bars.
Each embark region contains 6 veins of hematite, all located beyond the chasm.
Unlike in later versions, hematite ore is also required in order to make steel, so smelting all of your ore into iron is ill-advised.
"Hematite" is also the name of the fourth month of the dwarven calendar, covering early Summer.
