I've created a RAID 1 using mdadm as below however I am having problems mounting it...
sudo mdadm --create --verbose /dev/md0 --level=1 --raid-devices=2 /dev/sdb /dev/sdc
mdadm: /dev/sdb appears to be part of a raid array:
level=raid1 devices=2 ctime=Sun Nov 5 20:36:10 2017
mdadm: Note: this array has metadata at the start and
may not be suitable as a boot device. If you plan to
store '/boot' on this device please ensure that
your boot-loader understands md/v1.x metadata, or use
--metadata=0.90
mdadm: size set to 625000768K
mdadm: automatically enabling write-intent bitmap on large array
Continue creating array? yes
mdadm: Defaulting to version 1.2 metadata
mdadm: array /dev/md0 started.
sudo mdadm --examine --scan --config=/etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf
ARRAY /dev/md/0 metadata=1.2 UUID=1e236272:3e68ea7b:fab6ba77:eb211675 name=SPCURTIS81-projSERV:0
However when I try to mount the array, I'm getting the following error...
sudo mount /dev/md0 /home/ste/mnt/
mount: /home/ste/mnt: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/md0, missing codepage or helper program, or other error.
I've Google'd and searched on here but I'm struggling to find anything which I understand to relate directly to this.
Some of the following info may or may not however be of use...

You have to make a file system on your array. The raw array is just a block device, which can hold any kind of file system, or non file system data.
To make a filesystem, you can issue sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/md0 to make a new filesystem with EXT4 (one of the more popular file systems; works great for all round use.
After you've made a file system you can mount it using the command sudo mount /dev/md0 /home/ste/mnt/
