This is a leveling mining guide.If you have just started playing RuneScape or are leveling mining, then this is the portion you should read.Hope the guide is useful for you.

If you are very dedicated, you can get 85 mining in two months, maybe one and a half. Remember, if you want to level very fast, get on a server with a lot of people. The rocks will spawn faster on a busier world, and if you get a place to yourself, you will be able to mine very fast. The "higher" level rocks take the more time to respawn (rune rocks might take up to 30 minutes, as opposed to clay ones that respawn almost instantaneously). As a general idea, on a full server the respawn time is around half of the time on an empty world.
Also, remember that your pickaxe type affects how well you mine. Always use the highest level pickaxe that you can.

There are many who advocate dropping ore to level faster. Most people take 30-60 seconds to drop a full load of ore. If you are mining for level and pick a location as recommended below, you will find that you can run (not walk) to a bank and deposit the ore in about half a minute or less. The return trip will also take half a minute, so you end up using the same amount of time, but benefit by having banked the ore. Also, banking the ore requires considerably less clicking. When your run energy drops, you might want to drop a few loads while it regenerates.

Alternatively, you can drop the ores you mine while you wait for the rock to respawn. For example if you are focusing on a cluster of three iron rocks, you could mine the three and then drop them while they respawn. Then continue the cycle.

Levels 1-20
Copper and Tin ore will be the only ores you can mine easily.
For F2P, the ores at the mine south east of Varrock are the closest to the bank. Just a note, if you mine equal copper and tin ores and smelt/smith them, you can get 14 or 15 smithing with only 20 mining levels.
