If you play Dinkum long enough, you’ll eventually wipe out all the copper, tin, and iron nodes on your map. While they eventually respawn, they do so at a very slow rate, so you’ll have to enter the Deep Mines at some point to continue progressing. Continue reading to learn everything you need to know to enter the Deep Mines in Dinkum.
What are the Deep Mines in Dinkum?
The Deep Mines in Dinkum are underground caverns with many metal ore nodes and special rooms containing chests with loot. They require a Deep Mining Licence, Mine Pass, and Mine Deed to enter. The Deep Mines are a high-level area that one should enter with caution.
On the plus side, the Deep Mines are the only location in Dinkum where you’ll be able to find certain items like the Animal Collar to tame Diggos and Rubys, which can sell for upwards of 30,000 Dinks per Ruby.

How to Survive the Deep Mines in Dinkum
Here are tips on how to survive the Deep Mines in Dinkum:
- Buff yourself with good food to increase your Health and Stamina. Cooked Croc Meat is one the best foods you can make without using the Cooking Table.
- Bring Old Keys with you in the Deep Mines. They will unlock rooms with powerful loot in them.
- Purchase Torch from John, or craft a few Wooden Torches at your Crafting Table. It’s very dark in the Deep Mines.
- Bring a high-level weapon with you. There are many enemies in the Deep Mine, and you’ll need an excellent weapon to stay alive. The flaming bat is the best weapon because you can kill multiple Bats with a single hit.
- Purchase a Wheelbarrow from John, then keep it in your inventory until you go down in the mines. Deploy it in the mines so you can use it to transfer Rubies. You can’t push a wheelbarrow into the elevator, so you must do it this way.
- Bring enough food to replenish your Health and Stamina.
- Enter the mines early in the morning, so you have all day to mine and loot.
- Bring more than one pickaxe in case your pickaxe breaks.
And there you have it! You know everything you need to go down into the Deep Mines in Dinkum.
