Al Kharid mining site



The Al Kharid mine is a mine north of Al Kharid, northwest of the fire altar. It also known as the Scorpion Mine, due to the abundance of those. While not necessary, a combat level of 29 will keep the scorpions from attacking while mining.

This location is fairly effective for mining most materials, as it has everything except clay, runite, blurite, and rubium.

It is also relatively close to the furnace and the bank in Al Kharid, which allows players to smelt metal bars and further proceed with Crafting or Smithing.

However, the mine is usually quite busy in f2p as:
 * the bank and furnace are quite near comparatively,
 * it is one of the few mines providing gold and silver ores (the other one being the Dwarven mine, or Crafting Guild),
 * there are free water and fire rune respawn (see the allocation map).

It should also be noted that the "Man" walking near the entrance of the mine is revealed to be Avan in the Family Crest quest.

The ores available are:


 * 1 Tin ore
 * 2 Gold ore
 * 3 Mithril ore
 * 2 Adamant ore
 * 2 Coal
 * 3 Copper ore
 * 5 Silver ore (6 if counting the limited silver rock)
 * 9 Iron ore
