locate-ore

This tool finds and designates for digging one tile of a specific metal ore. If you want to dig all tiles of that kind of ore, highlight that tile with the keyboard cursor and run digtype.

By default, the tool only searches ore veins that your dwarves have discovered.

Note that looking for a particular metal might find an ore that contains that metal along with other metals. For example, locating silver may find tetrahedrite, which contains silver and copper.
