The Iron Ore Mine is the source of Iron Ore [[File:icon iron ore.png|16px|link=material]], it is used only by the '''[[Foundry]]''' where it is combined with Coal [[File:icon coal.png|16px|link=material]] in order to create Iron [[File:icon iron.png|16px|link=material]]. Iron Ore Mine is an [[Ages#EraII|'''Era II''']] building, therefore when transitioning from the [[Ages#EraI|'''Early Steam Era''']] to the [[Ages#EraII|'''Steam Era''']] several Iron Ore Mines will appear in random locations across the map.
