Generate mine names in the style of real 19th-century gold, silver and coal mines (Comstock, Homestake, Big Bonanza) plus fantasy delvings and dwarven holds. Useful for Westerns, RPG dungeons, Minecraft builds and steampunk settings.

About mine names

Real mine names are a record of who staked the claim and how they felt about it. Nineteenth-century Western prospectors named claims after wives, sweethearts and daughters (Molly Kathleen, Little Daisy, Tomboy), after their luck (Lucky Cuss, Last Chance, Hard Luck, Never Say Die), after their hometowns (Kentuck, Little Pittsburg, Ontario) or after birds, stars and gems (Yellow Jacket, Morning Star, Golden Fleece). Corporate mines that came later took plainer names: the Homestake, the Empire, the Anaconda, or simply the Number Six.

British and Cornish naming has its own flavour. Coal mines are collieries or pits, usually named for the village (Gresford Colliery, Senghenydd Pit, Big Pit), while Cornish tin and copper mines are called Wheal, from the Cornish word for a working (Wheal Coates, Wheal Jane, Great Wheal Vor). Underground features have their own vocabulary too: shafts, adits, drifts, stopes, levels and sumps, all of which make excellent name endings.

Fantasy mines borrow the same structure but swap in dwarven and mythic vocabulary: Deepdelve, Ironhold Delving, Mithril Deep, the Sundered Seam. Whether you are naming a ghost-town silver mine for a Western, an abandoned pit for a horror game, or a dwarven hold for a D&D campaign, this list gives you real historical names to draw on alongside invented ones that follow the same conventions.

How to choose mine names

  • Match the vocabulary to the ore and era: Mine or Lode for Western gold and silver, Colliery or Pit for British coal, Wheal for Cornish tin, Delving or Deep for fantasy dwarves.
  • Prospector-style names work best when they sound personal or wry (Widow's Might, Poor Man's Diggings, Never Say Die) rather than epic.
  • For a haunted or cursed mine, use underground terms with dark connotations such as Widowmaker Shaft, Sorrow Drift or Gallows Hill Pit.
  • If your world has a mining company, give the corporate mine a plain, confident name (Empire, Standard, Consolidated) and the wildcat claims around it colourful ones.
  • Add a specific number (Coal Seam Number Nine, Number Six Colliery) to suggest a large working with many shafts.

Frequently asked questions

How did old gold mines get their names?

Prospectors named claims after whatever came to mind when they staked them: a wife or daughter, their home state, a lucky omen, a bird seen that morning, or a joke about their odds. Once a claim proved rich it was often renamed by the company that bought it, which is why the Big Bonanza and Comstock Lode carry investor and discoverer names.

What is the difference between a mine, a colliery, a pit and a quarry?

A mine extracts minerals underground; a colliery is specifically a coal mine and its surface buildings, and pit is the informal British word for the same. A quarry is an open excavation for stone, gravel or slate rather than ore. Wheal is the Cornish term for a mine.

Are these real mine names?

Many are: the Comstock Lode, Homestake, Anaconda, Big Pit and Wheal Coates were or are working mines. Others are invented in the same style. Historical names are free to use in fiction, but check that a modern mining company has not trademarked a name before using it commercially.

What should I call a dwarven mine in D&D?

Dwarven mines usually pair a hard, mineral or forge-related word with a term for the working: Deepdelve, Ironhold Delving, Hammerdeep, Blackvein. Tolkien's Moria was also called the Dwarrowdelf, and Warhammer dwarf holds start with Karak, both of which are useful patterns.
