X = no prospect of that ore <br>
<-- = last tile you did get a prospect <br>
3 = I recomend you start mining here <br>
<br>
Prospect, find ore nearby.. move East until you do not prospect that ore any more, the last prospect that you did, is the East edge. Count 3 tiles west, that is your N-S row where the ore is. If you do not have an East side available, use the West side. Repeat for the North or south side. <br>
<br>
This will give you the exact location of your ore. Ignore up and down on the sides of mountains when prospecting, only N-S-E-W matter. <br>
<br>
Sometimes grass, clay and sand can impede this process, so it is best to find large surfaces of rock to mine on. <br>
