Where is the best place to find ores for armour sets?

I have progressed a lot through the game, I have great tools and weapons and a big house. And now I've decided to put all the armour sets on mannequins in my house. I managed to craft a lot of them, but I didn't have enough of some materials. (Such as Platinum, Adamantite, Chlorophyte, etc...)

I was wondering what the best way to find such materials would be? I already have the Shroomite Digging Claws so I can dig fast.

Best Answer

The fastest way to find these ores is to find a natural cavern and to travel through it with placing torches.

An alternative way is to put dynamites in a vertical line and you can go underground with a rope really fast.

It should be easier to find Platinum because it's generated early-game. However, Adamantite and Chlorophyte ores are harder to find because you must be in hardmode. Also, you'll need better tools to mine them.
