You can mine in Los Santos or in Las Venturas.
1. Mining in Los SantosLocation: Los Santos, Jefferson.
How do I get the job?: You open up your GPS (t/gps) and type in the 'Search' box "Miner" and double click the third choice. Once you reach the location you need to go on the top and enter the Yellow Circle in front of the white cabin and click "Have job", once you done that, you're free to start professing.
How do I do my job?: Once you enter the mine, you'll spot cubes of ore, those ores can be iron, gold, or explosive ore. You simply get close to each cube and left click it to start mining.
The PRO's: - Low movement required (You won't need a jetpack or a vehicle as the ores are dense).
- The main ore in the mine is Iron Ore, but besides Iron, you also stumble upon Gold & Explosive ore.
- Gold can be used to craft "Wedding Ring" in F9 or you can just sell it in F7.
- Explosives can be used togheter with Iron and Oil to craft bullets, or you can also sell them in F7.
The CON's: - You earn less Iron per ore than you would earn in Las Venturas.
- There are some minor bugs that might occur in the mine from time to time (you could fall underwater and drown or you could fall from the sky and die, these bugs occur rarely).
Quick TIPS: - When you are mining in Los Santos you can split your screen in half and watch a movie while mining, as it doesn't require much effort to mine (just move and click).
- If you are mining and you're not busy with movies, you can keep an eye on F7 and 'flip' the Iron Ore, this means you could buy the Iron with less than 14$ and sell it at 14$
