Ultimate Mining Tycoon Items
Ores, gems, and equipment stats for factory planning and mine depth targets.
Every resource you mine, haul, and process in Ultimate Mining Tycoon lives in this items reference. Innovation Inc.’s tycoon ships 20 ores, multiple gem types, 11 pickaxes, 6 backpack tiers, and a full explosives hierarchy — all feeding 30+ factory machines on your plot.
Use this hub to cross-link raw stats with Guides, Tier Lists, and Factory Chain Reference.
Item categories
Ores
Complete table of all 20 ores from Tin ($10) to Unobtainium ($30,000) with depth zones, strength requirements, and processing notes. Includes Obsidian (explosives-only) and documents removed Manganese → Gold replacement.
Gems
Gemstone types from Crystal Depths and Underworld layers. Separate jewelcrafting chain from metal processing — route via dedicated factory spine.
Equipment
Pickaxes, backpacks, and explosives sold at Generico Mining Gear and Madattak’s Dynamite Shack. Equipment gates which mine layers you can farm efficiently.
How items flow through your economy
Mine (pickaxe/explosives) → Backpack/Vehicle → Unloader → Machines → SellRaw sell values listed in ore/gem pages are baseline — processing multipliers from Machines Tier List typically double or triple effective worth.

Persistence and recovery
Items in backpack, vehicle, and unloader save on logout. Ore Recovery Centre retrieves stranded inventory. Prestige resets most progress — ores should not persist after reset (rejoin if bugged, fixed v0.5.x).
Ore Upgrader interaction
Prestige Ore Upgrader transmutes any ore one tier higher — changes which raw ores you prioritize mid-run. See Prestige and Medals.
Items vs codes
No promo items exist via codes — Codes Hub confirms Ultimate Mining Tycoon has no redemption system as of v0.5.13.

How to use this hub
Start with the Ores table when planning a mine trip depth. Switch to Gems once you reach Crystal Depths. Keep Equipment open while shopping at Generico Mining Gear so you never buy a pickaxe that cannot break your target layer.
When a patch changes sell values or strength gates, re-check this hub and the Updates Hub before spending cash on a full factory rebuild. Pair item stats with the Machines Tier List so every ore you haul has a processing path ready at the unloader.
