Underground deposit (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ore

'underground deposit' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for ore that I've seen before include "Mineral-bearing rock" , "Small coins" , "Rock from which metal is extracted" , "Material for smelting" , "14 [CURRENCY UNIT]" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post.
