Mining is a confirmed activity that will be included in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Mining can be used to make money and is similar to the saw mill activity, smithing and cooking. It has been released that there will be 13 different types of ore that can be mined in Skyrim such as iron, which can also be made into weapons and armor when smelted, but can also be made into steel using other materials.

Mining requires a Pickaxe.
