How to find and mine Ore in Dragon’s Dogma 2
Ores are most often found in cave systems or mines in Dragon’s Dogma 2. On the walls, you’ll find mineral deposits (think along the same lines as Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom).

There are Ores of varying rarity and all have a significant carrying weight. So, unless you have a way of keeping your carrying weight down, you may need to allow your Pawns to carry some of the burden.
