Mine in Dinkum

To access a mine, you must first secure a Mining Pass, which costs 25,000 Dinkum.  Inside, you can obtain Iron Ores with a Copper pickaxe. Smelt the Iron ore in a Furnace to receive Iron Bars.

Deep Mining can yield fossils and gems. However, keep in mind that they cannot be placed in the inventory; you must manually carry them. These loots are expensive and can be sold at John’s store. Fortunately, you can leave multiple fossils and gems in the elevator before going back to the surface.

Getting a Quarry is also considered mining in Dinkum. You can unlock it from Franklyn. Quarries create barrels that contain old items and ore deposits daily. You can leave them in town, but the process will be slower than exploring the mines yourself.
