Ore Mines are work buildings under the "mines" sub-category, that allow the extraction of coal from coal deposits. This mine is one of the most important buildings in the game, as coal is used to fuel a very high number of buildings. Some buildings cannot function whatsoever without coal. Like most other buildings, the mine needs employees to function. Coal mines must be built over tiles containing coal deposits and tiles without said deposits.

Building the mine itself costs no resources, only adding the required storage and optional auxiliary components do.

The process of citizens mining the ore is slow, but making larger mines (while covering more deposits) and hiring more employees to mine can help combat this. If there's no coal deposits near your settlement, this building has no purpose, and trading may be the player's only method of obtaining coal.

Coal mines general a lot of noise, so it's best to build them far away from public places if possible. Coal mines, and any other mine, can have their mining speeds increased with upgrades purchased with knowledge points.
