Hematite. You can't have Magnetite near a volcano unless you're lucky, whereas hematite is still much more common.

The kind that makes it's way into goblin's heads, automatically. That's my favorite.

Hematite. Snaking trails of red are a lovely addition to any fortress.

Pig iron, oinks during refinement and smells like bacon when smelted. Ingots take on a marbled color pattern and formed in thin strips.

But seriously, magnetite and goblinite. Excellent sources.

I had a bunch of magnetite on my first volcano which caused me to start this.  ???

I've always loved the look of wrought iron.

As you can't poison towns downstream yet, there's no advantage over any other part of a river.

Either Duoununequium or Adamantine or Unobtanium. Or I could pick Refined Awesomesauce.

Hematite's what I always end up with since it can show up near volcanoes. Goblinite is the most useful, though, because it's available no matter your embark.

No it's not. Embark on an island and you may not get goblinite at all. And goblinite isn't always iron - in my last embark it was copper and silver (which was actually terrific because my mayor had a billon fetish).
