Following is a list of some of the less common ores which can be found in and around the [[Par'tha Expanse]] (i.e. those most likely to be shipped to other systems). Mining companies often process their own ores before shipping them offplanet, so a few common alloys are listed as well.

*'''Borelium:''' A phaser resistant metallic element. Due to its liquid nature, it must be used as an alloy, thereby reducing its effectiveness.

*[[Borelium]]
*'''Corboryte:''' A metal alloy used to coat the power core of extremely large-scale power plants. Such power plants are most commonly found in planetary shield generators and space stations.
*[[Corboryte]]
 
*[[Dilanthium]]
*'''Dilanthium:''' This is a raw metal integral to the construction of spaceship hulls in the Par'tha Expanse.
*[[Durelium]]
 
*[[Icrium]]
*'''Durelium:''' Durelium is a crimson metal alloy made up of ronlyn and dilanthium used in the construction of spaceship hulls. Durelium is too difficult to process for mass production model ships, but is often used in the manufacture of custom yachts and racing vehicles.
*[[Ronlyn]]
 
*[[Solinite Gas]]
*'''Ronlyn:''' Ronlyn is a relatively uncommon and very dense metal used in a variety of alloys where great strength is required. Ronlyn is a primary component of corboryte.
*[[Solium]]
 
*[[Tannine]]
*'''Solinite Gas:''' A type of heavy gas, solinite has a damping effect on matter-antimatter reactions.
*[[Telleena Gas]]
 
*[[Triborium]]
*'''Solium:''' An extremely volatile and explosive mineral, solium is most often used as fuel for reactors, but has been used in military ventures incorporated into demolitions or ammunition.
*[[Volnarium]]
 
*[[Zanthium]]
*'''Tannine:''' Tannine is an alloy used to preserve certain gases and organic matter for transport (telleena gas is shipped in tannine blocks). Because the component ores used to produce tannine are often found near one another in nature, on-site foundries which process tannine into its final form are not uncommon.
 
*'''[[Telleena Gas]]:''' Used in the construction and powering of beam weapons such as lasers and phasers.
 
*'''Triborium:''' An extremely rare metal used in the construction of light and durable battle armor. Because of the strategic value of triborium, the [[Valcarian Imperial Republic|Empire]] nationalizes triborium mining operations as it becomes aware of them. However, there are many small-scale triborium mining facilities the Empire does not know about, which process the precious ore for other clients - local governments, crime syndicates, and financially well-off individuals among them.
 
*'''Volnarium:''' Volnarium is a major component used in the manufacture of [[ferrocrete]]. The [[Valcarian Imperial Republic|Valcarian Empire's]] primary source of volnarium is found in the [[Par'tha Expanse]], though other lesser sources are active.
 
*'''Zanthium:''' A raw metal integral to alloys used in the construction of starfighter hulls. Ships plated with zanthium take on a light blue coloration.


'''Note:''' Though [[spice]] is extracted and processed much like an ore, it is not considered one because it is not a naturally occurring mineral. Though some mining companies mine spice as well as ores, either illegally or under special government contract, such operations do not constitute mining as recognized and regulated by the [[Mining Guild]].
