Deposit of mineral aggregate beneath street (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

store

'deposit' is the definition.
(store is a kind of deposit)

'mineral aggregate beneath street' is the wordplay.
'mineral aggregate' becomes 'ore' (I've seen this before).
'beneath' says to put letters next to each other (in a down clue).
'street' becomes 'st'.
'ore' put after 'st' is 'STORE'.

'of' is the link.

(Other definitions for store that I've seen before include "Computer memory; supply kept for when needed" , "Depository for goods" , "Large shop; keep" , "Shop; hoard" , "Eg, granite" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
