There was almost a cranium shaped hole in the door, thunk, thunk, thunk :-)

but it looks like they aren't ore, 1/10 of an ore.

You may want to go back and do that skillup now, so you get a useful 
range of xp on the ghost iron and engineering skillups.

Depending on the prices you can mine->AH->buy bars for engineering.

Or mine(skillup mining)->smelt(skillup mining)->make engee(skillup 
engee).   about 1.5 skillups 2 per mining action.
Assuming 2-3 ore -> 1-2 ore per bar, a lot of bars per item.


You may want to look at the pandaria goggles for extra nodes, or wait 
and make them yourself.
