Mines (Skyrim)

Mines are locations in and can be found all around Skyrim and Solstheim. All mines contain one frequent kind of ore, though the type of this ore varies for each mine. The ore veins can typically be mined by activating them with a pickaxe.
Some mines contain enemies (such as bandits), some are abandoned and some have paid workers in them. Many Orc Strongholds contain a mine within them.
Unclearable mines replenish their ore veins every ten in-game days. Clearable ones replenish their ore veins every 10-30 in-game days.

==Trivia==
*The Dragonborn can also mine ore by equipping any pickaxe, or dual-wielding 2 pickaxes, and manually swinging at the ore veins. The speed bonus via the Elemental Fury shout can help the Dragonborn mine ore faster, provided that their pickaxe is not enchanted.
*If the Ancient Nordic Pickaxe is present in the Dragonborn's inventory, it will be shown during the mining animation, regardless of whether or not the regular Pickaxe is also present.
*None of the mines contain Steel or Dwarven Metal ore veins, since they are alloys.
