Ore for Gilt for Painting.

[Lucidious]

I am doing the griphon quest line and have already defeated the Duke and returned the crown. Now the gryphon king has asked me to get a painting from the painter on the island. After speaking to the painter he sent me to the dwarf up near the mines in the same zone which I cant get into yet. The dwarf tells me to go and get ore to make gilt, well I guess I didn't real the quest well enough because I cannot find the ore anywhere. If I go back to talk to the dwarf he gives me no clues on where to look.

If someone could give me any insight I would appreciate it.
