Thorium Ore is mined from various Thorium veins, with a minimum mining skill of 230.

This rare metal combines the weight of lead with the strength of steel. Orcs prize it for weapons because the extra weight allows a skilled user to strike with more force. Thorium armor is amazingly heavy and strong-only adamantine pierces it with any degree of reliability.Template:Cite
