Mined resource (3)

I believe the answer is:

ore

'mined resource' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for ore that I've seen before include "Small coins" , "Natural material from which metals can be extracted" , "Mined material" , "Solid rock containing metal" , "Raw metal" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today, the Newsday.com, the Universal, the L.A. Times Daily, the LA Times and The Washington Post Sunday.
