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.

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 respawn all their ore veins every 10 in-game days.
