All about the Ore you can mine, the nodes, and what ore is needed for what quest. Mining Nodes
Mining nodes in World of Warcraft will provide two to four ores before they disappear if they are normal, and up to four to eight if they
are "rich" nodes.
Nodes that show red will not be able to be mined, those that are orange will always up your mining skill, yellow ones will up your mining skill 3/4 of the time, the green ones will up your mining skill half the time or less, and
the grey ones will never up your mining skill.
You will often fail when mining nodes that appear as orange type, you may fail sometimes with the yellow type ones, and never fail on the green and gray type ones.Stone
Stone is a by product from mining the
ore veins. Rough stone comes from Copper veins, Coarse Stone comes from Tin veins, Heavy Stone comes from Iron veins, Solid Stone from Mithril veins, and Dense Stone from Thorium veins.Mining Upgrades

Incendicite ore is found in the Wetlands, in the spider cave at Thelgar Rock directly north of Dun Algaz. Pilot Stonegear in Dun Morogh gives you the quest for Incendicite ore for the Alliance. Lesser Bloodstone ore is found in the Arathi Highlands and is given as a quest called "favor for krazek" from Booty Bay's Krazek for the Alliance.Indurium ore is found in the tunnels in Uldaman. It is a neutral quest for Alliance and Horde given by Pozzik in Thousand Needles at Mirage Raceway.Rethban ore isn't really an ore as it is also dropped instead of mined so
those without the skill can complete the quest in the Redridge Mountains for the Alliance. This is a quest that is given by Foreman Oslow in Lakeshire. Rethban ore will also spawn in any copper or tin mining node in the Redridge Mountains for that quest.Mining Levels
