Also there is/are Dark Iron Ore @ Searing Gorge.
Also when you are a druid or rogue you can get your dark iron ore very fast by going into BRD and stealth your way in. After minging go out instance. Break party. Then make party and go inside again....good way to get yourself revered @ Thorium Brotherhood for those extra recipes.
For detailed instruction I can also ad an URL.

I'm confused by it having Tin Veins and Silver Veins, with different locations for each. I thought a Tin Vein, on spawning, just had a 10% chance of coming up silver. Maybe the percentage is different, but I know I found 2 silver points in Loch Modan before ever finding any tin, and when I went back they were tin points. Does anyone know what the actual percentage chance is, or whether it's only certain tin spawns that have any chance at all of coming up silver?
The same counts for other points doesn't it? I found a gold point in Duskwood, and couldn't mine it (skill too low) but if I recall correctly when I went back and it had spawned and not yet been mined out it was an iron point.
EDIT: Replies to the original thread on that forum make the same point, so I guess this post is a bit redundant :blush:
Well I'm an ex-miner now, so I'll release my confidential information concerning Rich Thorium Veins. :dribble:
The best 2 places I found were round the Wintersping Village (East of Everlook) and around the Wintersabre Rock in northern Winterspring. Following up from this is the cavern full of yetis and the owlbeast area between the Yeti cave and the Southern Big Bridge (not the Owlbeast place in the North East!).
The Burning Steppes can be good but often attracts every known thorium farmer.
Well, good luck!!
