An '''ore''' is an item (usually a type of unrefined metal) that can be mined from rocks or mineral veins using the [[Mining]] skill and a [[Pickaxe]]. Items such as [[Gems|gems]], [[Clay|clay]], [[Granite|granite]], and [[essence]]s are not ores per se, however they are still discussed on this page as they can be obtained via [[Mining]]. Metal ores can be smelt into [[bars]] using the [[Smithing]] skill.

==Uses of ores==
See [[Ore (disambiguation)]] for a list of ores and items often referred to as ores. The use of ores are elaborated at their own articles.

==Trivia==

*Strangely, while mining things like [[Limestone]], and you get an additional limestone from your [[Varrock armour]], it says: "The Varrock Armour allows you to mine an additional ore", although this isn't actually an ore.
*The heaviest ore is [[Lunar ore]], and the heaviest minable item is 10kg [[Sandstone]]. Most metal ores are around 2kg (1.75kg to 2.7kg)
*Rocks containing ore were updated on [[20 December]] [[2011]], as revealed in the [[Update:Christmas 2011: A Towering Feast|update post on that day]], to have a shiny look when ore is available from them.
