Valuable mineral (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ore

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">valuable mineral</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this before)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for ore that I've seen before include "It's mined for minerals" , "Mineral deposit" , "Foreign currency" , "Material for smelting" , "it could be gold" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and the LA Times.
