Four ores
A node drops 1–3 ore. Miner adds one more per vein. Every bar is 5 ore and 1 coal in a furnace. Blacksmith raises the bar's sell price by 50%, not the ore's.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Copper | 5g | 30 in-game minutes | 75g in year 1, 150g from year 2 | Any mine floor. High concentration on floors 2–39. Ordinary rocks there can also drop one ore. |
| Iron | 10g | 2 in-game hours | 150g in year 1, 250g from year 2 | Floors 40–79, concentrated on 41–79. |
| Gold | 25g | About 5 in-game hours | 400g in year 1, 750g from year 2 | Mine floors 80 and deeper. In the Skull Cavern, rare from floor 60 and more common from floor 80. |
| Iridium | 100g | 8 in-game hours | Not a blacksmith shelf item | Skull Cavern, quarry, and Volcano Dungeon. Hill-top and Four Corners farms can spawn nodes at mining level 10. |
Other ways to get ore
All four ores can come from the Skull Cavern and the Volcano Dungeon. Copper, iron, and gold nodes also spawn in the quarry, the Quarry Mine, and the quarries on Hill-top and Four Corners farms. Copper and iron show up in crates, barrels, tilled mine dirt, and any of the four geodes. Gold skips regular geodes and can come from frozen geodes, magma geodes, and omni geodes. Iridium comes from magma geodes, omni geodes, and golden coconuts.
Ghosts drop 1–3 gold ore 20% of the time. Metal heads on floors 80–119 can drop copper, and on 81–119 they can drop iron. Purple slimes in the Skull Cavern can drop iridium ore and iridium bars. Iridium bats can drop up to 4 iridium ore and have a 0.8% chance at an iridium bar. Iridium crabs can drop up to 3 iridium ore. Iridium golems drop iridium ore 20% of the time.
A meteor on the farm drops 10 iridium ore and no mining experience. The Statue of Perfection, after four candles at Grandpa's evaluation, gives 2–8 iridium ore each day. Krobus sells one omni geode on Tuesday for 300g. The Oasis sells three on Wednesday for 500g each. Five iridium ore trade to the Desert Trader for one mega bomb.
