Mithril ore
Mithril ore is a free-to-play item, with a high alchemy value of 35 coins. The simplest way for an Ironman to get Mithril ore is to buy it: Ore Store in Jatizso sells it for 59 coins, and one other shop stocks it too.

Ironman verdict
3 monsters drop it. The easiest is Small lizard (level 21, 1/128); the best rate is Desert lizard (level 30), at 1/128, about one every 128 kills. You can also make it yourself: it takes 37 Divination and gives 13.3 Divination XP, using 2 × Glowing energy and 5 × Coal. Other sources include Squeal of Fortune/Rewards, Void ravager, Mithril rock and Divine mithril rock, plus 1 more listed below. Making ten takes 20 × Glowing energy and 50 × Coal and gives 133 Divination XP. Reaching level 37 Divination takes 27,473 XP in total; the Divination calculator counts the actions and materials to any target, and the Divination guide has the Ironman training route. 4 recipes use Mithril ore, including Adamantite ore, Good locator and Luminite. Mithril ore is available on free-to-play worlds too. It is tradeable on normal accounts, but an Ironman cannot use the Grand Exchange or trade for it, so the sources on this page are the whole list. High Alchemy turns one into 35 coins, which is 24 less than the shop price, so buying it to alch does not pay.
