Ore



Ore is a strange type of substance seen in the Phazon Quarry on the Pirate Homeworld. It is "a mix of between muscle and wood in it's shape, but actually composed of metal ore, with veins of hot blue glowing substance inside." A Mining drill can be operated to mine the substance, and it glows orange when cut, but this glow soon after fades. There are two deposits in the Phazon Quarry on either side of the room; one is cut into a Half-pipe that Samus Aran uses to leave the room and the other becomes a staircase in the wall to a Missile Expansion.

Urthic ore and Phazon ore have been mentioned in the series, and there is a room called Ore Processing in the Phazon Mines.
