Mines and mining sites are places/areas where various minable resources (e.g. ores, essences, stones, gems, etc.) can be mined; These may be above ground (quarries or outcrops) or under ground (mines) and are scattered all over Gielinor. Also, some of these mines have access requirements (e.g. having membership, wearing/carrying certain items, and/or completing a certain quest).
