Bar chart with Copper winning by 281 votes to ilmenite’s 160 votes.
Congratulations to #Copper on a winning by a decisive 27% margin. Whatever happens in the Finals, you won’t be going home with bronze.
Condolences, #Ilmenite, but we’re confident you’ll weather this setback with your usual resilience.
Last call for the first #OreCup semifinal of #Copper vs #Ilmenite!

I’m voting #ilmenite partially because titanium is awesome, but mostly out of spite because I don’t want to vote for copper until I have to. #OreCup
#Copper is very, very neat, but I am forlorn that #Ilmenite is getting trounced so soundly in the #OreCup semifinals.
I mean. It's a titanium oxide ore, which is body-safe and not water soluble so it's not on the Do No Lick list, just on the Do Not Rub Into Your Eyes list.

Your #OreCup options:
Shiny orange #copper that tarnishes into a green patina, or shiny black #ilmenite that makes the brightest whites in paper, glazes, sunscreens, and toothpastes with its titanium dioxide

I voted #Ilmenite 'cause it was the obvious underdog, even though I voted #Copper and #Jadarite in Round 1.
It’s the #OreCup semifinals! Are you voting for #copper, the start of humans learning metallurgy? Or are you enamoured with titanium ore #ilmenite and the high performance technology it enables?

#OreCup semifinals are kicking off with native #Copper vs titanium oxide ore #Ilmenite. Both are shiny, both are useful, both have cool stories. So are you picking tendrils or roses?

#OreCup I'm feeling silly, so, I #vote #Copper instead of #Ilmenite, because of these #illustrations in the #pictures in the #comment #field.

#OreCup R2M1: Are you supporting tendrils of native #Copper or dark grains of #ilmenite? Both have less intensive mining processes than most ores & both have fascinating folklore.

Titanium ore #Ilmenite soared to victory with a 35% margin. It’ll face off against #Copper in the #OreCup semifinals (tomorrow!!)
Nice hustle, #Jadarite, and maybe you’ll have better luck if we find more deposits.

Sunlight spills across a vast stretch of black sand, where scattered footprints lead toward the gentle shimmer of waves meeting the shore. To the left, green hills rise steeply against a horizon brushed with wisps of white cloud, while the deep blue sky arches overhead, streaked with light and warmth.
No flashy specimen pictures, just minerals by the billion - voting for #ilmenite in the ⚒️🧪 Ore Cup because it contributes to the awesome black sand beaches of #NewZealand 🇳🇿 . (PSA from personal experience: *always* bring footwear on a hot summer's day...)

We're Team #Ilmenite today in the #OreCup! Not only did it enable Bob Ross's happy little clouds, it also may have helped flip the Moon's mantle. So versatile! 🔭🧪🌕
