=== Halite === <!--T:12-->
=== Halite === <!--T:12-->
Halite spawns in one of two ways:
[[Halite]] spawns in one of two ways, as a salt dome or as a dry salt lake.
<br>
 
'''Salt Domes''' can spawn anywhere, but their top must originate in a sedimentary layer.  No sedimentary layer = no halite.  The Halite readings that the prospecting pick detects in permil mode are for salt domes.

<br>
 
'''Dry Salt Lakes''' can only spawn in sedimentary stone top layers in deserts.  In a typical temperate spawn location, with 'realistic' banded climate, you'll need to travel 13k+ blocks south to find true deserts.  Gravel barrens, which you can find in temperate climates, are not hot enough.  The dry salt lake will spawn directly on top of the stone in the region, but below the sand/gravel top layers.  So it will take some shallow exploratory digging to find them.  These dry salt lakes, while much easier to access than salt domes, will not give halite readings on the prospecting pick in permil mode, unlike salt domes.  They are easier to find exposed in cliff faces, due to geologic upheaval.

[[Metal#Gold|Gold]] only spawns in layers of quartz. Following a quartz layer is a good way to find it. [[Ore blasting bomb]]s can be utilized to great effect to clear out quartz.

[[Metal#Silver|Silver]] can be found alongside gold in quartz deposits, but it can also be found in deposits of lead.

=== Cassiterite === <!--T:15-->
=== Cassiterite === <!--T:15-->
Cassiterite is used to make tin bronze, one of the three bronze alloys that can be used to advance to the iron working stages of the game. Some traders sell bronze tools that can be used to work iron, but players must still find enough ore to cast a bronze [[anvil]]. Although surface deposits of tin do exist, they are very rare with the default world generation settings.
