Updated for patch 4.2.

Fel Iron Ore requires mining skill level of 275 to mine.  It’s the first ore you’ll run across when you journey through The Burning Crusade expansion. If you are looking to make gold with your mining skill take a look at this Gold Guide.

The two zones I choose, which are probably the only two ones you can really get it from efficiently, are: Hellfire Peninsula and Zangarmarsh.

Fel Iron Ore in Hellfire Peninsula

Fly the outside mountain ridges on this path and when you get bored either turn around or fly right down the center of the map because there’s ore everywhere.  This zone is loaded with so many Fel Iron Deposits it’s ridiculous.

Fel Iron Ore in Zangarmarsh

Stick to the outside ridges of this zone, it’s not really worth your time to go inward.  There is a cave area in the Northwest that you can go into, but more importantly, the cave in the Southeast can make for some good ore, it’s marked on the map with a V.
