Goldenrock Mine is a small mine located near Darkwater Crossing. It is under Stormcloak or Imperial Legion control, depending upon choices made by the Dragonborn in the Civil War storyline.
The mine itself contains four corundum ore deposits, and several pickaxes. Outside, there is a silver vein on the left if the Dragonborn swims upriver. The mine also contains the Heavy Armor skill book Chimarvamidium. It can be found by heading straight ahead from the entrance, on a barrel next to a bed roll, which is the only place to sleep in the mine.
A small family of miners live in the house next to the mine. Speaking with Annekke Crag-Jumper will start a miscellaneous quest to kill a bandit leader.
Sondas Drenim, another resident of the mine, tells of the dangers of deep mines and asks the Dragonborn to deliver his note to Quintus Navale in Windhelm.
The corundum ore veins can be found in the following locations:
- Straight ahead as you walk in, next to a wagon.
- To the right of #1.
- Can be found while entering the large room by going up the first wooden ramp and then turning right on the corner.
- Can be found on the west wall of the final room, continuing up the ramps.
