Price to pay for wicked mineral deposits found in Northern Territory? (2,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

no rest

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'price to pay for wicked' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'mineral deposits found in northern territory?' is the wordplay.
'mineral deposits' becomes 'ores' (I've seen this in another clue).
'found in' is an insertion indicator.
'northern territory?' becomes 'nt'.
'ores' placed within 'nt' is 'NO REST'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for no rest that I've seen is " "____ for the wicked"".)
