Ores are patches of valuable minerals embedded in stone. To be used at all they must be harvesting using a Hand Drill or ship-mounted Drill and then refined within a Refinery. Once refined, they yield one type or another of Raw Materials which can be used within an Assembler to construct Components.
Ores have a variety of appearances and rarities which are annotated below. Usually the best way to identify a particular ore is by the use of an Ore Detector (either one attached to a ship or the one built into the Hand Drill), which will put the name of the ore on-screen in approximately the center of the ore patch.

Refining
Each ore (including Stone) yields some sort of useable material once it has been refined within a Refinery. Each ore has exactly one type of material that it produces, at various rates of efficiency; e.g. 1000 kg of Uranium Ore will not produce 1000 kg of Uranium Ingots. Various data on the Raw Materials refining production are shown below.
| Ore | Raw Mat Produced | Ore to Raw Mat Ratio | Ore Per 1 Unit Raw Mat | 1000 kg ore takes up (L) | 1000 kg ore refines to (kg) | 1000 kg ore refines to (L) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Stone | Gravel | 90% | 1.11 | 370 | 900 | 333 |
| Cobalt Ore | Cobalt Ingot | 30% | 3.33 | 370 | 300 | 33.6 |
| Gold Ore | Gold Ingot | 1% | 100 | 370 | 10 | 0.52 |
| Iron Ore | Iron Ingot | 70% | 1.43 | 370 | 700 | 88.9 |
| Magnesium Ore | Magnesium Powder | 0.7% | 143.4 | 370 | 7 | 4.03 |
| Nickel Ore | Nickel Ingot | 40% | 2.5 | 370 | 400 | 44.8 |
| Platinum Ore | Platinum Ingot | 0.5% | 200 | 370 | 5 | 0.24 |
| Silicon Ore | Silicon Wafer | 70% | 1.43 | 370 | 700 | 300.3 |
| Silver Ore | Silver Ingot | 10% | 10 | 370 | 100 | 9.5 |
| Uranium Ore | Uranium Ingot | 0.7% | 143.4 | 370 | 7 | 0.36 |
