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 yield 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.
Tungsten
Click on the odd one out, there are 3 pairs and a crystal that doesnt have an equal pair
Magnesium
Click the blue crystal, or one with greatest blue component
