agree orientalhorizon : sounds sensible, oftentimes I don't quite believe the "English" in Chinese or Japanese websites. I know too many occasions where the "translated English" could not be understood by native English speakers though many translators linked them as authority.

Gold Ore

Ore = wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn
a mineral that contains metal which is valuable enough to be mined.

and another good example:

Iron Ore
A rock that is mined from the Earth and contains the metal iron.
www.nps.gov/hofu/TEACHERS/vocab.html

Therefore:
Gold Ore = rock which contains gold.

Do a google images for gold ore. I think that's the stuff they mean.
