Raw mineral (3)

I believe the answer is:

ore

'raw mineral' 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 "Raw metal" , "Mineral - Scandinavian monetary unit" , "Mineral - Scandinavian money" , "Mineral-bearing rock" , "Naturally occurring mineral" .)

I've seen this clue in the King Feature Syndicate, the Penny Press, The Sun and The Star Tribune.
