Viscous Pyroxeres is the secret behind the success of ORE in the early days. ORE has since then moved into more profitable minerals, but Viscous Pyroxeres still holds a special place in the hearts of all miners dreaming of becoming the next mining moguls of EVE. Pyroxeres is an interesting ore type, as it is very plain in most respects except one - deep core reprocessing yields a little bit of nocxium, increasing its value considerably. It also has a large portion of tritanium and some pyerite and mexallon. This ore is a compressed and much more dense version of the original ore.

Vitreous mercoxit gleams in the dark, like a siren of myth. Found only in rare clusters in space vitreous mercoxit is very rare, but very valuable, due to its much higher 10% yield. Mercoxit is a very dense ore that must be mined using specialized deep core mining techniques. It contains massive amounts of the extraordinary Morphite mineral but few other minerals of note. This ore is a compressed and much more dense version of the original ore.
