Once Cleo tasks you with getting to explore a dungeon in Fae Farm, one of your requirements to do so is to find 25 Copper Ore. Fortunately, this is easier than the game’s visual language implies at times. Here’s where to find Copper Ore in Fae Farm.
‘Dungeon Delver’: Copper Ore and the Saltwater Mines in Fae Farm
Copper Ore isn’t found anywhere on the regular map. Instead, you have to head all the way to the most southeastern edge of the map by the shoreline at the Saltwater Mines. Track it on your map if needed.

Before you set out, make sure you brought food to replenish energy. You’re going to need it.

You’ll find a little alcove with a set of locked wooden doors. Though it looks off limits, it’s not. Walk up to the doors and they will automatically unlock, letting you inside.
You are now inside the Saltwater Mines. Here you’ll use your pickaxe to smash rocks and find the switch to open the next door. You’ll see some promising bronze-colored rocks that look like copper. These are not copper. They are all only going to yield clay. You have to get to the third floor before copper starts showing up.

You’ll know the right rock outcrop when you see it. It looks far more like the traditional look of copper ore. It’ll take you a few floors to get the 25 needed for the quest, so continue on through the floors until you are satisfied.
Leaving the room at any floor will take you out of the mines back to the entrance. No need to worry about excessive backtracking. You are free to quickly leave and start smelting your copper ore for various crafts and upgrades.
