Mine
Mines are constructed on ore veins to extract Iron, Copper, and Tin, as well as various Gems. Ore veins are discovered using the Dowsing skill with a Dowsing Rod. Working the mine will produce ore upon success, and occasionally a gem of a set type.

Operation
To work a mine, you must learn the skill Ore Extraction from the School of Architecture. To further increase your yield per mining attempt, you may learn the second level of ore extraction (7 tin ore, 7 copper ore, 7 iron ore). Each mine type has a different method of operation in order to properly extract the ore.
Iron
To extract iron ore, click on the mismatched color crystal. Success yields 3 at Ore Extraction levels 1 and 2.
Copper
Copper Ore is extracted by clicking on the crystal with the highest color saturation (i.e. the "least gray").
Tin
See discussion on tin mine theories.
Note
For copper mines i have found so far its not the color rather the shade that gives Copper Ore. example: bright and dark green,pink,brown,red,purple,blue give Copper Ore but light or pastel of those don't.
for tin mines i have found most colors of green, red and yellow and grey even the washed colors (careful though they shades look simular) will give you Tin Ore. also seem to pull just 1 tin at a time even with Ore Extraction lv2. except the dark grey ones give 3 tin.
