The '''Al Kharid mining site''' is located north of [[Al Kharid]], north-west of the [[fire altar]]. It is also known as the '''Scorpion Mine''', due to the abundance of those, and the '''Al Kharid Quarry''', because it is an open pit mine. While not necessary, a [[combat level]] of 29 will keep the [[scorpion]]s from attacking while mining. They are otherwise very [[aggressive]] and can easily kill the unprepared. This mine is popular for players of all levels because of the variety of [[ore]]s available.

This location is fairly effective for [[mining]] most materials, as it has every non-quest ore besides [[clay]] and [[rune ore|runite]]. It is also relatively close to the [[furnace]] and the [[bank]] in Al Kharid, which allows players to [[Smithing|smelt]] metal [[bar]]s and further proceed with [[crafting]] or [[smithing]]. One could also mine the ore here then go to [[Lumbridge]], use the furnace, and then use the nearby anvil found in the same building as the furnace.

Some players choose to powermine the iron ore due to its abundance. Other players use the spell [[Superheat Item]] to combine coal and mithril, adamant, or iron to create such respective bars, although the low abundance of coal usually deters players from such an approach. The nearest banks are in the [[Duel Arena]] and Al Kharid. It is the best F2P place to mine silver ore (other than the [[Crafting guild]]) and its iron rocks aren't usually as busy as that at the [[Dwarven Mines]], probably due to the fact that the mine is farther from a bank.

The ores available are:
*1 [[Tin ore]]
*2 [[Gold ore]]
*3 [[Mithril ore]]
*2 [[Adamant ore]]
*2 [[Coal]]
*3 [[Copper ore]]
*5 [[Silver ore]] (6 including [[exhausted silver ore]])
*9 [[Iron ore]]

This is also one of the six possible desert locations for [[Shooting star]]s to land.

One of the 12 [[Resource Dungeon|resource dungeons]] is here and requires level 75 [[dungeoneering]] to enter, it has some more available ores, gem rocks, and 5 frequent impling spawns.

==Trivia==
*Before an update, the Al Kharid Mining Site was home to one of the few places in the game where 3 iron ore were available to a player without having to walk in between mining attempts. This was an especially popular place for Power Mining and competition could be fierce.
*Three fire runes and four water runes spawn near the north end of the mine.
*It is one of the few places in the F2P game where players may find Adamantite Rocks, the others being in the Wilderness, the Mining Guild and on Crandor. It is the only safe place in the F2P game where players may mine the ore without requiring a quest to have been completed.
