Gold in them thar hills, e.g (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ore

(Other definitions for ore that I've seen before include "It's mined for minerals" , "Mined material" , "Naturally occurring mineral" , "Raw metal" , "Rock from which metal is extracted" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
