I've just recently started up mining on my lvl 40 Paladin. The first 80 levels were easy as copper veins are spread throughout the lowbie areas. Tin is a bit harder because there isn't much of it, but when smelting bronze turned gray at level 100 and mining tin/silver is my only option (as iron mining won't be an option until level 125) I'm stuck!
I've seen a silver vein two times today, one time where it was hidden inside a rock (!). I can only gain levels from smelting silver or mining tin/silver, though I don't know for how long tin will give me levels.
Any advice on how to break 125 so I can start mining all the delicious iron in Arathi?
I've been grinding a bit on incendicite and bloodstone in Wetlands and Arathi Highlands, but I'm not sure for how long they'll stay yellow/green.

Please "talk up" if your comprehension white-shifts. I will use simple-happy language-words to help you understand.
spider cave in the wetlands. the quest ore will train you as well as the silver and tin.
Thought so. Guess I'm going back for another session of mindnumbing mining.

I don't remember it being that much of a problem - mining tin seemed to level me up just fine until I could mine iron. The smelting part seems to turn grey long before the mining. I'm not sure, but I also seem to remember being able to mine the iron before I was able to train to smelt it - did it actually tell you that you needed mining 125 to mine the deposit?
Silver is a rare spawn of tin - if you keep mining tin deposits, you will occasionally find silver where you expected tin. Likewise, gold is a rare spawn of iron.
Good places I found to level up were Loch Modan - the eastern mountain ranges down to the south afforded lots of tin and copper, and the bronze sells pretty well at the auction house - and the Wetlands - a cave behind Raptor Ridge has lots of iron and tin. At your level, nothing in either place will bother you.
Hope any of this helps...
