[[File:Anglesite-Galena-249200.jpg|thumb|260px|right|Anglesite Galena.]]'''Ores''' are left behind after [[mining]] certain varieties of [[stone]]. Ore can be [[smelter|smelted]] to create [[bar]]s of pure [[metal]] or combined to create [[alloy]]s. Many ores are quite valuable as mined without being refined, 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 {{k|z}}-[[Status|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 - see the [[alloy]] article for details.

Most ores are [[fire-safe]] material.  Some are also [[magma-safe]].

Each normal metal ore "stone" produces four bars of refined metal when [[smelter|smelted]]. Metal ores with two possible metals listed below always produce 4 bars of the first metal, and have a chance of creating 0-4 bars of the second metal as well. [[Adamantine]] ore cannot be smelted directly; it must be processed at a [[craftsdwarf's workshop]] first. Different rules apply to creating alloys.

−
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 significantly less processing. However, furniture produced directly from ore cannot be [[melt|recycled]], and refining the ore will generally produce an additional metal bar.

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