Cosmizy's New Ores
This mod adds 4 new Vanilla-style ores into Minecraft. I was looking to add minerals from real life, so I decided on Tin, Silver, Bronze, and Steel.

This mod adds 4 new vanilla-styled ores to the game, 2 of them generating naturally and the other 2 being alloys, made from other ores. Currently, there is:
Tin, in between Stone and Iron
Silver, like Iron, but has magical properties
Bronze, better than Iron, worse than Steel or Diamond
Steel, better than Bronze but still worse than Diamond
Each ore has it's own textures and items, including tools, weapons, and armor.
Steel, being slightly worse than Diamond but still very good, is complex to craft and requires many materials.
I also would recommend using a mod that adds Copper tools and equipment if you're going to play with this one, because they go hand-in-hand.
