Iridium ore is rare, about 1 per 5 chunks, though there is more in the End. Aluminium and titanium come from bauxite ore, which is found in forest and plains biomes. Forested island and birch forest also work.

Your going to need a blast furnace to cook aluminium and titanium. A normal blast furnace will do for aluminium, an industrial blast furnace 1500k heat.

Iridium ore also spawns at any level from 0-99 as well as the 1\5 chunk thing so it is a little harder to find, once you have The End open there are asteroids of various ores floating around which contain Iridium.
Bauxite ore has to be processed to get the Alu\Ti out of it, NEI is your friend in that case it will list the uses of Bauxite ore when you press U.

Actually It's getting easier because of the RP2 gems and Sheldonite ore is in the end, it's a yellowish colour ore.. and can easily be tracked down. No idea about the bauxite lvl, but I usually mine at around diamond levels (height 11-16) for the redstones, and find a lot of bauxites, but maybe it's just scattered around the chunk.. You can try to use the IC2 miner and see which level you get bauxite..

It's mainly because RP2 gems are everywhere..GT gems are biome specific..

Yeah, that's the one compatibility I hate, I'm overflowing in gems that allow extremely easy crafting of Energy Crystals and Lapotrons, normally I would actually have to explore the world to find things special biomes for them.

never had a good use for them though :D i miss my iridium ore so i can get my boots :D

Actually once you reach the end, you can get sheldonite ores easily to make full set quantum, ender dragon is pretty crappy lol.. 23 sheldonite ores give 13 iridium chunks/3 Ir plates, if you triple the platinum with Hg cells and centrifuge all platinum to iridium..

I've found about 7 pieces of sheldonite ore in the end, after much flying around at asteroids. Is there so little, or am I doing something wrong.

It was nerfed to 1/3 amount of the original after someone posted a video in youtube complaining about how OP Sheldonite ores were.. (IMO the amount of Sheldonite ore is not OP, only the 8 platinum-> 1 iridium is); Just fly around more..and make the matter fabricator first before everything else..
