Iron ore, typically (5)

I believe the answer is:

oxide

(Other definitions for oxide that I've seen before include "Rust is iron -" , "Chemical compound" , "Compound of two elements, one with atomic number 8" , "Compound of oxygen with another element" , "Compound of oxygen and one other element" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.
