Others getting mineral source put back (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

restore

'put back' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'others getting mineral source' is the wordplay.
'others' becomes 'rest' (eg the rest of a group).
'getting' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'mineral source' becomes 'ore' (I've seen this before).
'rest'+'ore'='RESTORE'

(Other definitions for restore that I've seen before include "Bring back, reinstate" , "Bring back to original state" , "Cure" , "Give or put back" , "Bring back; renovate" .)
