That table doesn't really make sense... with 9 copper ore you can make a copper plate that sells for 34 -> 3.78 per ore indeed. Makes sense. The problem there is that copper wire is way more valuable at 14 per 3 ore -> 4.67 gols per ore.

The bronze bar requires a single tin (and 4 copper, but you mention that separately) and sells for 15... how does that become 2.67? Are using the unit price as "4 units = 1 ore" and factoring the copper in? That would be 2.5 though.

Also, making Bronze Pipe would be more valuable - with 2 bars (value 15) you get 38 coins in value... 19 per bar. And if you even make some drying racks, then that goes up to a value of 21 per bar.

On a separate note: The best profit from raw ores is to add a bit of wood in and make steel cables. Even if you buy the wood at 2 gols per (from Total Tools... though they only stock 20) you'll make an 8.67 gols profit per ore. That's a bit moot though, since putting everything into iron ore will make it cost quite a bit more.
