There are three types of iron-containing ores in the game: hematite, magnetite and limonite. They can appear in different [[Rock#Rock strata|rock layers]] at different depths, but all are equally capable of producing iron. 20 nuggets of these ores produces one iron bloom. A tier 3 bronze (or better) pickaxe is needed to mine these ores.

'''Hematite''' can be found in large, deep underground deposits in limestone, granite, sandstone, peridotite, and phyllite. '''Magnetite''' can be found in andesite, chalk, conglomerate, claystone, and slate. '''Limonite''' can be found in chert, shale, and basalt. Taken as a whole, this means iron ores can generate in any rock layer ''except'' for marble and bauxite.
