Prospecting says I'm nearing ore, but how do I mine it?

Thank you everyone, you've been a lot of help. I'm still searching but now I have one more question, can a cave be in a part of cliff side that isn't visible? Such as you have sides you can see, then other times you have cliff sides that face away so it's impossible to view. Can a cave be in one of those?

Nope.

Thanks Jorb and others for the info on the cave! I found yet another one which I'm going to look around, though someone said a little ways back that Pacho's version has night vision? I downloaded Pacho's client, so what would I need to activate that? Because so far I've gotten lost four times in the cave because the torch just doesn't do an effective job at lighting the area.

*EDIT*

I figured out Pacho's client Now to search the cave!

Finding your 1st mine is g'damn exciting and don't let anyone talk you down if it's "only" a copper mine... it's an achievement at this stage of the game to find a mine, even if it's in a cave.

So come brag again when you've found it.
