Option 1

 * Ore - Ore - Wikipedia
 * Article Evaluation
 * The article ("Ore") is listed as a level-4 vital article in Technology, has been rated as Start-Class, and is of interest to several WikiProjects including WikiProject Geology. The article contains a lead section that briefly explains what ore is, and includes a summary of the upcoming sections (extraction, ...). This lead section gives a concise overview, and would be beneficial to anyone quickly wanting to know what ore is. The main content of the article is lacking in detail and description, and is an area that needs work. The descriptions of various ore deposits are mainly in point form with links to other sources. These could be more descriptive with a few sentences. Additionally, the article needs citations for verification. The latest post on the talk page is from July 2011 which suggests how "ore minerals should show the end product (i.e., bauxite for the production of aluminum), and it appears that this suggestion has been partially implemented to the "Important ore minerals" section (but not complete). Overall, the article needs additional citations and references, as well as more information for the majority of sections.

Option 2

 * Merensky Reef - Wikipedia
 * Article Evaluation
 * The article is part of WikiProject Geology, and is rated as Start-Class and Mid-importance. The article is also within the scope of WikiProject Mining (Start-Class, High-importance).
 * Sources. The lead section is direct and gives a good overview of the following sections with links to important keywords. Sections are well written and provide adequate detail, however, lack images. Work could be done to add additional detail and implement images to help readers visualize. On the talk page, a question asked if the Merensky "Reef" is underwater, and the term "reef" may provide confusion to the general public. This could be fixed by explicitly stating what the term "reef" means in the mining context in the lead section. Additional information should also be implemented to give thorough information on the Merensky Reef. These sections could include how extraction is done, a more detailed section on mineralogy/composition, and details about the main formation models.

Option 3

 * Raglan Mine - Wikipedia
 * Article Evaluation
 * The "Raglan Mine" article is within the scope of WikiProject Mining (Start-Class, Mid-importance) and WikiProject Canada (Start-Class, Low-importance). The section is brief and gives an overview of the Raglan Mine and its location. Additional details including main commodities, extraction, grade, tonnage, etc should be included in this section. Additionally, this lead section does not give insight into the upcoming sections within the article. The "Production" section needs to be updated with information and citations, and other sections could have additional information (especially "Historical airline service"). There are no images in the article (except for the figure of the map location). Images have been requested to be included in the article to improve quality. There are no discussions on the Talk Page. Overall, the article has potential and requires additional information and images.
