Finding ore can be quite challenging. In Vintage Story, ores are deposited in specific [[Rock|rock layers]], broadly classified as sedimentary, metamorphic or igneous, and at specific depths. By using a [[prospecting pick]] as well as the information in this guide, players can more reliably find ores by understanding how they spawn.

As of version 1.9, ores only appear in certain [[rock]] types. Many ores are only found in some host rocks, and different rocks can have different ore qualities. Examining a rock while holding (Sneak + H), will provide information about which ores can appear in that rock type.

=== Deep ores === <!--T:9-->
Deep ores are not indicated by surface deposits in loose stones. Most deep ores can only be found by luck or by exploratory mining guided by a [[prospecting pick]]. Some ores, such as saltpeter, cannot be detected by the prospecting pick and must be found while exploring caverns. Gemstones do not have ore grades, but have low, medium or high potential blocks instead. For the sake of page length, ores and minerals that have no in-game uses have been omitted.
