This page will describe and show all the ores in middle earth

Copper Ore
Copper Ore is an ore found commonly throughout Middle-earth. It can be smelted into Copper Ingots, which can be combined with tin to make bronze.

It can be found up to layer 64 and is about half as common as iron. A pickaxe of at least stone or equivalent strength is required to mine this ore.

Saltpeter Ore
Saltpeter is a fairly common mineral that can be acquired by mining saltpeter ore which is found underground.

Silver Ore
Silver Ore is an ore found in Middle-earth which can be smelted into silver ingots. It can be found up to layer 32 and is about twice as common as gold. A pickaxe of at least iron or equivalent strength is required to mine this ore. Silver Ore is useful in the game because it can be smelted into silver ingots, which can then be then crafted into nine silver nuggets, and four of these make one silver coin. This means that players can slowly make money by mining undergound, rather than needing to find a trader in order to do so.

Sulfur Ore
Sulfur is dropped by its ore that can be found in Middle Earth, similar to saltpeter. When combined with saltpeter and charcoal (can't be coal) in a crafting table, it creates 2 gunpowder, being the only way to obtain gunpowder within Middle Earth. Gunpowder is needed to craft Orc Bombs. Sulfur can also be used to make Sulfur Matches.

Tin Ore
 Tin Ore is an ore found commonly throughout Middle-earth which can be smelted into Tin Ingots, useful for making Bronze. It can be found up to layer 64 and is about half as common as iron. A pickaxe of at least stone or equivalent strength is required to mine this ore.
