The noun 'mines' is a common noun, the plural form for the singular noun 'mine', a word for a pit or tunnel from which minerals are taken; a deposit of ore; an explosive device placed in the ground or water and set to explode when disturbed.

A proper noun is the name of a specific person, place, thing, or a title; for example:

  • Dr. Mine A. Kurtay, Plastic Surgery, Naples, FL
  • The Wieliczka Salt Mine, Wieliczka, Poland
  • Colorado School of Mines, Golden, CO
  • Indian Bureau of Mines, Nagpur, Maharashtra, India
