Not to be insensitive about this, but, you're level 9. You've been playing for probly 2 hours, and you were impatient enough to come ask here about something you would have found out in another hour or so.
Bit harsh, no? :-) It took me quite a while to get my first toon up to level 10, and I didn't have much of a clue about anything in the game! And this is his first post in the forum, so maybe he hasn't found quite as much of it as you have.
In other respects, his answer is right - as you get into higher level zones, you'll find higher level minerals to mine. Loch Modan is one of my favorites for tin. You can also make use of the search bar on the left here - if you type in "tin vein", you can find maps of every zone where tin has been discovered and where the veins are. Works for almost everything else as well. And check out the guilde lists, and the "trade skills - by trade" and - well everything in the search bar. There is an enormous amount of information collected here. Enjoy the game, and enjoy the forums - I do!
