[[File:Iron-rock.png|right|thumb|An iron ore rock.]]
An '''Iron ore rock''' is a protruding rock containing iron. A player with a [[Mining]] level of 15 or higher can mine [[iron ore]] from rocks found in various [[Mining#Mine table|mines]], granting 35 Mining [[experience]] for each ore mined. After being mined, an iron rock takes between 5 and 10 seconds to respawn, which depends on the amount of players on the server.

Iron is the most popular ore that free-to-play players power-mine for experience. Using a [[rune pickaxe]], a player can extract the iron ore from the rock in one strike, while mining [[copper]], [[tin]], or [[clay]] takes two or three strikes.

Iron ore rocks that are close to a bank include the East Varrock mine (bank at East Varrock bank), Iron ore rocks near [[Port Khazard]] (bank at the Port Khazard deposit box), the [[Piscatoris Fishing Colony]] (bank inside the colony - must have completed [[Swan Song]] - also an excellent place to power-mine), right outside of the [[Mining Guild]] (bank at East Falador bank, or with [[Level]] 15 [[Dungeoneering]], you can use [[Deposit Box]] in [[Dwarven Mine resource dungeon]]), and the iron ore rocks south of [[East Ardougne]] (bank at South bank). For the daring and adventurous, the [[Steel mine]] in the level 8 wilderness north of [[Edgeville]] also offers a few iron ore rocks.

==Respawn rate==
Iron ore, like all other mined rocks, [[Spawning|respawns]] at a rate indirectly proportional to the number of people in the rock's ''RuneScape'' [[world]]. If the world is empty, the ore respawns in 10 seconds; if it is full (with 2000 players), it respawns in 5 seconds. Thus the respawn rate of iron ore is
:<math>10-\frac{x}{400}</math> seconds,
where ''x'' is the number of players in the world.

A table of respawn rates is given below.

== Trivia ==
* There was a popular place to mine iron in the mining area near [[Al Kharid]], which has a place in the mine where there are three rocks in a triangle formation, making the player able to mine iron faster due to the three respawns. After the dungeoneering resource dungeon update, the triangle formation changed.
* There are some spots where the graphics for the iron ore rocks have not been updated, including the mining spot to the East of [[East Ardougne]].
