WoW Mithril Mining Guide

If you are looking for where to mine Mithril you have come to the right place. Below you will find the top zones for mining Mithril.
Where to Mine Mithril in Badlands

Badlands: Levels 35-44



There are only a few areas in Badlands that will provide ample supplies of Mithril. Dustbelch Grotto and the Lethlor Ravine are the main areas to mine Mithril. Be advised that there are elite dragons in Lethlor Ravine which can make it hard for someone in their 40's to gather Mithril in that area.
Where to Mine Mithril in The Hinterlands

The Hinterlands: Levels 40-51



The caves of the southern mountain ridge are a very good spot to mine Mithril. I have excluded going into Jintha'Alor because of the large amount of mobs in that area, but there is a good cave system at the top that can be used to mine Mithril if someone is willing to make the journey. For this route though just skip past Jintha'Alor and follow the path east. Don't forget to drop into Skulk Rock, there are usually a few good Mithril Deposits inside.
Where to Mine Mithril in Searing Gorge

Searing Gorge: Levels 43-49



There is a figure 8 circuit that has worked well for me in the past. The focus points are the very northwest cave in Firewatch Ridge and the southeast point of the routes, as well as, the cave systems inside the crater (The Cauldron) in the middle of the zone. Ensure that you go down the path and into some of the caves that sit in the crater in the middle because there are usually plentiful amounts of deposits in that area.
Where to Mine Mithril in Tanaris

Tanaris: Levels 40-50



Tanaris is my favorite zone to mine Mithril. The circuit is very easy, just run a big circle around the entire zone and alternate through the middle if you don't have any luck with the outside circle. The southern ring is a sufficient enough route if you drop into either or both cave systems with the insects (The Noxious Lair and The Gaping Chasm). Keep in mind the insects are high 40s and 50 and it is oftentimes possible that multiple insects will be aggroed, which might make for a poor Mithril run for anyone in their 40s and low 50s. The entire southern and western mountain ridge is also a very good spot to mine mine Mithril.
Where to Mine Mithril in Burning Steppes

Burning Steppes: Levels 50-57



The only really good place for Mithril in this zone is Dreadmaul Rock although it can be found in other areas in this zone, the most concentrated supply of Mithril Deposits can be found by circling the mountain and entering both the northeast and southwestern entrance to the ogre caves.
Where to Mine Mithril in Instances

If you are looking to mine Mithril in instances you will find it in Uldaman (35-45) and Maraudon (40-49).
