During the first four days of the game, [[the Mines]] are closed due to a landslide caused by the [[JojaMart|Joja Corporation]]. On [[Spring]] 5 in the first year, a letter will be received in the mail saying that Joja Corp. has cleared the landslide, and then [[the Mines]] are unlocked.

Diamond Nodes begin appearing at floor 50 in the mines, at approximately .0020 chance (1 in 500) of appearing in place of a stone. For every floor after floor 50, frequency increases by .000016 per floor. This makes for a .0028 chance for a diamond node to appear in place of a stone at floor 100 (1.4 in 500 or 7 in 2500), and ultimately a .003104 chance for a diamond node to appear in place of a stone at floor 119 (1.552 in 500 or 194 in 62500).

The chance for Gem Nodes to appear is very small, but is slightly increased by Mining Skill level and daily [[luck]]. The chance for Mystic Stones to appear is also increased by Mining Skill Level and daily luck.

<ref name="coalbonus">There are 2 different code sections to assign coal to a rock outside the mine. One is breakStone, a 5% * (1+(.005*MiningSkill)) chance of a rock giving coal which does give the +5 bonus. The other is onStoneDestroyed, a 3.5% chance for coal that doesn't give bonus XP. From a player's view, the game will randomly give 6 XP sometimes for coal-dropping rocks, and sometimes just 1 randomly. Prospector causes breakStone to roll twice for the coal drop, while it doubles the chances for onStoneDestroyed to 7%.</ref>
