    coordinatesIf you are looking for specific coordinates, or to see where the clusters are in a given zone, try http://mapwow.com/ and select the type of mineral you are looking for. Remember that the coordinates listed are places where the given ore was found in the past, but someone else may have already harvested it on your server recently.

    be specific :)hey first of all nice guide. 🙂 it sure helped me alot as a miner.

    i would suggest giving exact locations on which the deposits/veins are located? because i had a hard time looking for the good spots on a specific zone. maybe you can add what area in that particular zone to go to.:)

    Nice guidegood to have a location for every ore to look for.
    I also love to mine in cave, usually they have 3+ even in a very small cave, and the spawn fast! espically love the ones in Arathi Highland and Un’Goro ape caves. no need to go outside, just clean the cave when waiting for the vein. Thorium can found in bug cave in Silithus, but I hate bugs…. better wait for higher lvl to go there.

    Westfall?Under the copper listing it shows Westfall under the Horde listing. While I’m sure ganking higher level Horde might find it fun, Westfall is a lowbie Alliance questing area. Just sayin’ 😉

    LOTS of copper and tinWhen i started as a Blacksmith / minner (@ lvl 42) i went and mined in Darkshore, my gatherer addon reports about 32-40 veins of copper/tin on the western edge running from north to south. I farmed about 20 stacks of copper in an hr. :jawdrop:

    Mithril and Truesilver in ArathiThere are 5 distinct Mithril spawns in Arathi around Stromgarde Keep and a bunch more in the Drywhisker kobold cave. There is also at least one Truesilver deposit located toward the back of the Drywhisker cave.

    OthersI have seen at least 2 gold veins and one truesilver vein in thousand needles, just to let everyone know that they are possibly there as well.

    Also, Thousand Needles is listed under “Horde” for Tin and Silver, but it is neutral, and can be mined by anyone.

    Just a few notes.
