Mining, Minerals & Magic

I've done some things like this before but I wanted something quick to make mines or mineral trade goods or commodities so I did this. Useful in a few games but probably I could add 

Dungeoneers survival guide from 1st ed Ad&D was a fave of mine good source for players quitting dungeons and digging for dollars. What if players had to get new ore to save the empire? Have gone for the Kickstarter for a new one.
