Mining
Mining for coal is something that is widely known, but did you know that diamonds, uranium, copper, and other non-renewable natural resources are also mined? There are two types of mining; surface and subsurface. Questions about the methods and types of mining, what ores are mined, and related questions should be asked in this category.

Why is a land or naval mine called a mine?
First World War. Miners would dig tunnels underneath the enemies trenches and fill them with explosives and then blow them up. Same principal as landmines, only the quantity nowadays is a lot smaller.
The miners were part of the Miners and Sappers which later (in the UK) became the Royal Engineers.
The only diamond I can think of is the white Nabooti crystal, located in an abandoned mine shaft.
How can you get faded silver ore from Cole's mine in maplestory?
Buy the beginners secret mine ticket from Nack (material merchant, he's directly left of the portal) and then go to the bottom right hand corner and chose the beginners mine. Next you find a silver mine, and you click space bar to dig it up. Sometimes it doesn't give you a silver ore, but another one so you have to keep trying to get what you want.
How much ore is smelt to get a pound of copper?
This is highly variable, and depends upon the richness of the ore. For example, the mines of Michigan's Keweenaw Peninsula mined primarily native copper, occasionally found in immense, multi-ton masses, which were actually quite a nuisance as explosives had no effect upon them and they had to be chiselled into managable sizes using hand tools. So in that case, to get a pound of copper, you'd smelt about a pound of ore. In mines with low grade ore, eg. Arizona, it will take a lot of rock to produce a pound of copper... but every mine is different.

There has been an update recently. Choking Ivy:

How do you properly dispose of mining waste?
The mining waste is ,usually, called 'tailing'. We dispose of tailings in many ways like:-
1. We build a pond and the tailing is pumped into it to allow sedimentation. This is beneficial as it forbids the fine particles to mingle with air causing air pollution.
2. Nowadays, these are also dumped as landfills in required ares.
3. If there is a hole or a trench that is to be filled, then also this tailing is used. In this case, it is mixed with cement and then is used as a filling material.
4. Recently, a ditch is made beside a tree and the tailing is dumped into it, and then, the tailing is covered with earth. This method is known as Phytostabilisation.

Mine Tin and Copper till you get level 15. Go for iron then. Go for iron until level 30. Skip silver. Silver is the 2nd rarest ore in runescape. Go for coal. Coal may take awhile, but once you can get a rune pick axe it will be quick. I suggest mining the coal at the Lumbridge west mine. No one is ever there. Mine and Mine coal until level 50. Gold is 40 yes but it takes forever! Mine gold until 60. Go to the mining guild and mine some mithril. Keep going with mithril until 5 levels after adaminte. Then go to adaminte lol. Wait until 85 for runite. Runite ore is very tough. I suggest some good armor and NO VALUABLE ITEMS! It is around the end of wilderness. If you level 60+ those level 125 revs can get you. Rev Knights. If you can get to the runite ores without picking up a rev, consider yourself lucky. I always pick up revs just going to the Fist of Guthix and that is only like level 7 in the wild! All I'm going to say is, if your a pure miner and you have level 3 combat. DON'T EVEN BOTHER GOING! I suggest level+ combat & good armor. CAREFUL PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In runescape which bank is closest to a clay mining spot?
Probably the Grand Tree mine, but you need to do the Grand Tree quest to acess this area
For free players, I would say, the clay mine south-west of Varrock. A Varrock teleport helps you save some time, in one direction.
