recommend mining it from levels 1-15. I averaged mining 840 ores per hour, gaining 4,200 experience per hour, and selling the ore at 38 gp per ore I made 31,920 gp per hour. I mined at the Varrock Essence mine.

Copper Ore: Copper Ore is a great ore if you are looking to level up smithing along with mining. Copper Ore is pretty expensive for only requiring level 1 mining to mine. It is also a good ore to gain mining experience with for low levels. I averaged mining 630 ores per hour, gaining 11,025 experience per hour, and selling the ore at 76 gp per ore I made 47,880 gp per hour. I mined at the Varrock East mine.

Silver Ore: Silver Ore is a pretty expensive ore for only needing level 20 mining in order to mine it. There isn't a good place to mine silver in the free world besides the crafting guild which requires 40 crafting to enter. If you can't get into the crafting guild, then don't mine silver. With that being said, I averaged mining 281 ores per hour, gaining 11,240 experience per hour, and selling the ore at 176 gp per ore I made 49,456 gp per hour. I mined at the Crafting Guild mine.

Iron Ore: Iron Ore is a very popular and useful ore. Iron Ore along with Coal makes steel bars which are always in high demand in Runescape. Iron Ore is also used to get extremely fast mining experience, but I'll get to that later. Iron Ore is a very competitive ore so I would suggest getting at least level 40 mining before starting to mine Iron Ore. I averaged mining 533 ores per hour, gaining 18,655 experience per hour, and selling the ore at 97 gp per ore I made 51,701 gp per hour. I mined at the Varrock East mine.

Coal: Coal is always in high demand because it is used in all high level smithing. I wouldn't mine Coal until you are level 60 mining and can access the Mining Guild. It is an extremely slow mine until you get to level 60 because of the competition on top of the fact that it is already pretty hard to mine. I averaged mining 295 ores per hour, gaining 14,750 experience per hour, and selling the ore at 193 gp per ore I made 56,935 gp per hour. I mined at the Mining Guild.

Adamantite Ore: Adamantite Ore is the second rarest ore in the game, and that's probably why it's one of the most profitable. Addy ore requires level 70 mining, which now only about 270,000 people can mine. The best way to mine Addy ore is to switch worlds after mining the ore. Addy Ore takes about 4 minutes to respawn on a full world. I averaged mining 67 ores per hour, gaining 6,365 experience
