Profitable extraction (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ore

'profitable extraction' 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 "Mineral or metal source" , "It's mined for minerals" , "Mined material" , "Solid rock containing metal" , "Raw metal" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
