Hi,

Is there any good map out on the web somewhere which shows each mine, and what ores it has available? My biggest problem for smithing is I can never find any ore except iron, Corundum, and occasionally silver. So, where can I find Orichalcum? Moonstone? Ebony? etc? I'd rather not spend the next two weeks trying to explore every cave and mine in Skyrim. There must be 200 of them.

Here are the locations, if the descriptions are not detailed enough you can look them up on the regular map.

I bet there are a lot of players who would like World of Warcraft-style mining nodes POI on their maps. That might be a good mod idea (Bethesda DLC).

I just went into that mine that has tons of gold last night. After I left I was wondering why everyone thinks Gold is so rare. Now I know that mine is rather unique.
