Iron Ore
Ice
Nickel Ore
Platinum Ore
Silicon Ore
Stone

Forum member Kane uncovered the following list of materials/ores[1] hidden in the Alpha game files. It is uncertain whether or not these will be in future versions of Space Engineers, but with the inclusion of mining apparatuses such as the refinery, it seems very likely.

In game, player can see colorful ore deposits on asteroids, but only some of them are currently mine-able (Update 01.008.004).

Processing

When processed in a refinery, ores become resources for Crafting Materials that can be produced in the assembler.

The chart below shows the ratio of ore to ingot and the time it takes to produce 10 Kg of the ingottype. (Update 01.021.029; Realism 1x)

Ore Crafting Material Ratio Time for 10 Kg
Crafting Material
Stone Gravel
Iron Iron Ingot 1.42 : 1 0.5s
Nickel Nickel Ingot 2.5 : 1 77s
Cobalt Cobalt Ingot 3.33 : 1 105s
Magnesium Magnesium Powder
Silicon Silicon Wafer 1.43 : 1 43s
