Below is a list of Mining Operations that the Mining Guild is currently operating in, these are split into locations that the Guild owned and the Star systems. Currently there is only one Star System owned by the Mining Guild, and that's the Secunda Major System. ¹⁾

Twin Springs Mine was the very first mine established at the outskirts of the New Dusk Conclave-controlled green zone, approximately 5 km away. It was located in a natural depression, often referred to as a valley, which stretched for about a kilometer in length. Within this valley, a spring-fed water pond provided a vital water source for the newly formed Twin Springs Settlement.

To this day, the Twin Springs Mine remains operational and is situated in the southeast direction from Obsidian City. The establishment of this mine was a significant milestone, marking the beginning of extensive mining operations in the region. As the demand for resources grew, the need to open more mines became apparent.

Astrid Kurosaki, the CEO of the Mining Guild, chose to remain at the headquarters to oversee the expanding operations. In her stead, she appointed their childhood friend and former refugee, Alara, to manage the Twin Springs Mine. Alara, having shared a long history with the Kurosaki siblings, was entrusted with this responsibility due to her competence and the trust placed in her by Astrid. Under her leadership, the mine has continued to thrive, contributing significantly to the region's economy and development.

Ore Found

• 90 percent Bauxite ore
• 80 percent Gemstones ²⁾
• 40 percent Titanium

Ironskin Mine derives its name from a small, docile creature native to the area. Unlike Twin Springs Mine, Ironskin Mine's nearby water source is contaminated, necessitating the Mining Guild to develop water filtration systems to make the water potable. Ironskin Mine was the second mine established by the Mining Guild, strategically located in the opposite direction of their first mine. It lies to the northeast of Obsidian City, just like Twin Springs Mine, at the edge of the New Dusk Conclave (NDC) controlled area, approximately 5 kilometers away.

The responsibility of managing Ironskin Mine was given to Codra, a trusted and capable individual within the organization. Under Codra's leadership, the mine has developed into a productive operation, contributing to the region's mining output. The settlement that has grown around Ironskin Mine is known as Ironskin Mine Settlement. Despite the challenges posed by the contaminated water source, the settlement has thrived, thanks to the community's resilience and the Mining Guild's support in providing the necessary infrastructure and resources. The settlement, like the mine, is named after the Ironskin creature, symbolizing the community's strength and adaptability in the face of adversity.

Ore Found

• 90 percent Iron ore
• 80 percent Copper
• 40 percent Gemstones ³⁾

This particular mine, unlike the others, was established closest to Obsidian City, diverging from the usual directional pattern set for the other mines. Its proximity to the city was a deliberate choice, primarily because many of the miners and the Overseer had families, including young children, whom they needed to return to frequently.

The mine's Overseer is Achilles Slither, a refugee from the Naga species. Achilles Slither, known for his leadership and commitment to his team, was chosen to manage this mine due to his experience and reliability. His background as a refugee has instilled in him a deep understanding of the importance of stability and security, both for his family and the families of the miners under his supervision.

Achilles has ensured that the mine operates efficiently while also prioritizing the well-being of the workers. The closeness of the mine to Obsidian City allows miners to maintain a better work-life balance, ensuring they can return home to their families more easily than if they were working at the more remote mining locations.

This mine's strategic location has not only fostered a strong sense of community among the miners but has also contributed to the overall productivity and morale of the workforce. The ease of access to Obsidian City provides additional benefits, such as better access to supplies, medical facilities, and educational opportunities for the miners' children, enhancing the quality of life for the entire community.

Ore found

• 90 percent Ultrite. ⁴⁾
• 80 percent Sapphires
• 10 percent traces of tin.

The Mining Guild had been keen on locating traces of magical ore, to either contribute to the New Dusk Conclave (NDC) or utilize for their own purposes. This interest led to the establishment of Astral Mine, situated to the north of Obsidian City. Some less knowledgeable members of the Guild initially speculated that this mine could be a potential source of Aether. However, this assumption proved to be unfounded.

Despite not finding the ore, the discovery at Astral Mine turned out to be even more lucrative. The mine was rich in valuable materials, particularly gemstones, with crystals abundantly scattered throughout the site. This unexpected find significantly boosted the Guild's resources and added another layer of prosperity to their mining operations.

Astral Mine is managed by a synthetic being known as Overseer Unit 1. This advanced overseer, along with a dedicated security team, ensures the smooth operation of the mine and prevents any unauthorized access or trespassing. The presence of these security measures underscores the importance and value of the resources extracted from the mine.

The surrounding community, named Astral Settlement, has flourished thanks to the wealth generated by the mine. The settlement benefits from the economic stability provided by the gemstone extraction, contributing to the overall development and growth of the region. The Astral Settlement, like the mine it supports, is a testament to the Guild's ability to adapt and thrive, even when initial expectations are not met.

Ore Found

• 0 metal ore
• 100 percent Gemstones ⁵⁾

Mount Venture, with its rocky terrain and significant elevation, earned its designation as a mountain, making it an ideal location for a mine. The Mining Guild decided to carve the mine into this mountainous area after locators discovered that it was rich in bauxite ore, various gemstones, and other valuable metals. This abundance of resources led to the establishment of the Mount Venture Mines.

The mine was affectionately named Mount Venture Mines, reflecting the natural grandeur of its mountain location. This mine is managed by Jason, who is the brother of Alara, the overseer of the Twin Springs Mine. Jason's appointment as the mine's manager was a testament to the trust and competence shared within their family, ensuring that the mine operates efficiently and effectively under his leadership.

Adjacent to the mine, a settlement known as Mount Venture Settlement has developed. This settlement serves as the home for the miners and their families, providing a close-knit community that supports the mining operations. The proximity to the mine allows for a convenient commute for the workers and fosters a sense of camaraderie among the residents.

Mount Venture Settlement has thrived due to the economic stability brought by the mining activities. The extraction of bauxite ore, gemstones, and other metals has significantly contributed to the region's wealth, enhancing the quality of life for the settlers. The settlement is equipped with necessary amenities and infrastructure to support its inhabitants, making it a vibrant and sustainable community.

The combined efforts of Jason and the dedicated workforce at Mount Venture Mines have ensured that the mine continues to be a productive and prosperous endeavor, contributing to the overall success and expansion of the Mining Guild's operations.

Ore Found
