Iron Ore
Ice
Nickel Ore
Platinum Ore
Silicon Ore
Stone

Forum member Kane uncovered the following list of materials/ores[1] hidden in the Alpha game files. It is uncertain whether or not these will be in future versions of Space Engineers, but with the inclusion of mining apparatuses such as the refinery, it seems very likely.

In game, player can see colorful ore deposits on asteroids, but only some of them are currently mine-able (Update 01.008.004).

Ores & Materials

Ore Chemical Symbol Icon Appearance Mass Volume
Stone - Stone Icon.png Varying Shades of Gray/Brown None Shimmering 2.7 Kg 1 L
Iron Fe Iron Ore Icon.png Rich Brown (similar to soil) 2.7 Kg 1 L
Nickel Ni Nickel Ore Icon.png Maroon 2.7 Kg 1 L
Cobalt Co Cobalt Ore Icon.png Gray with Brown streaks 2.7 Kg 1 L
Magnesium Mg Magnesium Ore Icon.png Dark Gray 2.7 Kg 1 L
Silicon Si Silicon Ore Icon.png Gray 2.7 Kg 1 L
Silver Ag Silver Ore Icon.png Shining Silver 2.7 Kg 1 L
Gold Au Gold Ore Icon.png Sparkling Gold 2.7 Kg 1 L
Platinum Pt Platinum Ore Icon.png Smooth Silver 2.7 Kg 1 L
Uranium U Uranium Ore Icon.png Black 2.7 Kg 1 L

Processing

When processed in a refinery, ores become resources for Crafting Materials that can be produced in the assembler.

The chart below shows the ratio of ore to ingot and the time it takes to produce 10 Kg of the ingottype. (Update 01.021.029; Realism 1x)

Ore Crafting Material Ratio Time(in seconds) for 10 Kg
Crafting Material
Stone Gravel
Iron Iron Ingot 1.42:1 0.5
Nickel Nickel Ingot 2.5:1 77
Cobalt Cobalt Ingot 3.33:1 105
Magnesium Magnesium Powder 143.4:1 7.7
Silicon Silicon Wafer 1.43:1 43
Silver Silver Ingot 10:1 307
Gold Gold Ingot 100:1 308
Platinum Platinum Ingot 200:1 30
Uranium Uranium Ingot 143.4:1 5500
