[[File:Ncrmine.jpg|thumb|The [[NCR]] Mine's location on world map. As you can see, it's really public.]]
There are several mines throughout the world near major cities and players can go there to mine the [[resources]] they will need to craft items. Each mine contains resource veins amongst the rocks and in some of the walls. Each vein holds a number of resources of specific type. When a vein is depleted, another vein in the mine is generated. The type of a new vein is in most cases random, although the chance for each type vary, depending on mine. The only exception is if it was the last vein of a type, in such case another vein with the same type is generated.

There are three types of mines : Guarded, Unguarded, and Private mines. In the '''guarded''' ones, you can find only '''basic''' [[minerals]] and [[Iron Ore|iron ore]]. The '''unguarded''' ones contain both '''basic''' ''and'' '''high quality''' materials. Unguarded mines are more dangerous because players can go there to kill [[miner]]s.

== Guarded Mines ==
Are guarded by [[NPC]]s in the similar manner as towns. You can wield [[weapons]] there, but attacking is not allowed and will be punished by force. Each guarded mine has 4 resource veins in random locations. When someone depletes a vein, a new vein is generated 2 minutes afterward in a random place at that mining site.

=== Available resources ===
These are the resources you can mine safely, in guarded mines:
* [[Iron Ore]].
* [[Minerals]].

=== Locations ===
The following list includes the location of all the game's guarded mines:
* Southwest of '''[[NCR]]'''.
* Southeast of '''[[San Francisco]]'''.
* West of '''[[Klamath]]'''.
* Southwest of '''[[Junktown]]'''.

===Slavery In Guarded Mines===
Slaves are allowed in public mines, but are not recommended left unprotected by the owners; There are many players who love nothing more than to find a slave in a public mine, kill them, and loot them.

== Unguarded Mines ==
Unguarded mines are more dangerous because [[player]]s can go there to kill [[miner]]s, and they also have hostile critters that attack you while you mine. There are no [[NPC]] guards and it's only on the player himself to avoid [[death]]. Carrying a [[weapon]] or having a buddy to protect you is not a bad idea at all. Unguarded mines in [[Redding Mine|Redding]], [[Broken Hills Mine|Broken Hills]] and near [[Gecko Mine|Gecko]] are no-logout (your character won't disappear if you logoff there). Each unguarded mine has 10 resource veins in random locations. When someone depletes a vein, a new vein is generated immediately afterward in a random place at that mining site.

=== Available resources ===
These are the resources you can mine in more dangerous, unguarded mines:
* [[Iron Ore]]
* [[Minerals]]
* [[High Quality Iron Ore]]
* [[High Quality Minerals]]
* [[Uranium Ore]] '''only in [[Broken Hills Mine|Broken Hills]] mine''' (requires [[Super Sledge]])
* [[Gold Nugget|Gold]] '''only in [[Redding Mine|Redding]] mine''' (requires [[Super Sledge]])

=== Locations ===
The following list includes the location of all the game's unguarded mines:
* East of '''[[Gecko]]'''.
* In '''[[Broken Hills]]'''.
* In '''[[Redding]]'''.
* Underground in '''[[Ghost Farm]]'''—although only Iron Ore and Minerals are available here

===Slavery In Guarded Mines===

Slaves are allowed in unguarded public mines, but can't be left alone; They will get killed one way or another.

== Private Mines ==
These can be purchased from the resident Mine Overseer, at each of the Guarded mines in the game world. The Overseer will charge you 40,000 caps for directions to the location. A character can own only one private mine at a time. Private mines do not spawn uranium or gold, only normal and high quality ore and minerals. The resources available inside private mines will be refreshed after time. The mine will last for only '''one real-time week,''' after which resources will cease to respawn and a notice will display upon entering that says the mine has been depleted. The mine will still exist after depleted until another mine is purchased. '''Purchasing a new mine will erase the location of the old one.'''

=== Slavery ===
A very efficient way to get resources from mines is to use [[slavery]].

* Slaves don't need a [[Sledgehammer]] to mine.
* Slaves don't require you to be at the private mine to work.
* Slaves stop mining at 200kg, even though they can carry more than this.

'''Warning:''' Never log off on the mine map, your slaves will run away. Log off somewhere else or on the worldmap.

==== Pathing Errors ====
A pathing error will stop your slave from mining until fixed by moving the slave to a different spot and giving them orders again.

To minimize the potential for pathing issues, it helps if slaves are as far away from each other as possible.
It also helps if you first order them to stay put, then order them to collect resources.
Finally, having more than two slaves increases the chance of pathing issues.

=== Available Resources ===
Private Mines allows You to dig following resources, but in much less quantity then in Unguarded Mines.
* [[Iron Ore]]
* [[Minerals]]
* [[High Quality Iron Ore]]
* [[High Quality Minerals]]
[[File:Privatemine_int.jpg|thumb|Inside the mine.]]

Private Mines used to have a few mobs of random type inside, but are now completely safe.

=== Locations ===
Listed here are the locations where private mines can be purchased. Go to a building at the mine and talk to a guy about buying a mine location:

* At the quarry just west of [[Shady Sands]], aka [[NCR]]
* At the mining site just east of [[San Francisco]]
* At the mine just west of [[Klamath]]
* At the quarry just west of [[Junktown]]
* A player faction [[Bases#Old Bunker|Bunker Base]]

=== Notes ===

Private mines spawn in the north near [[Redding]] and [[Klamath]].

Private mine is initially visible only for it's owner. The mine can be shared by simply taking someone there.

== Mining ==
A player can use a [[Primitive Tool|primitive tool]] to mine only regular [[Iron Ore|iron ore]] and [[minerals]]. A [[Sledgehammer]] however can be used to mine these and [[High Quality Minerals|high quality minerals]], [[High Quality Iron Ore|high quality iron ore]]. A [[Super Sledge]] can be used to mine any resource vein in any mine including [[Gold Nugget|gold nugget]]s, and [[Uranium Ore|uranium ore]].

Alternatively, you can command your [[Slavery|slaves]] to mine for you, and strangely, they don't need any tools for that. This might not work in every mine.

Bring a [[brahmin]] with you when mining. This will save you from going to your tent/base to unload the materials you just mined. Give everything you mined to the brahmin, and when you are done take the animal to your tent or base and unload whatever its carrying. Alternately, some miners prefer using a dog rather than a brahmin.
