Back to the Tile improvements in Civ4
The Mine is a tile improvement in Civilization IV.
Strategy[]
A Mine can be built by Workers immediately upon the discovery of Mining. A Mine adds 2 
Production to its tile. Mines may be created on all hills, and on flatland tiles that have resources which are unlocked by Mines.
Gems, Gold, and Silver are always revealed, but are enabled with Mining. Settling a city on these resources will not unlock them until Mining is discovered.- Copper requires Bronze Working.
- Iron requires Iron Working.
- Coal requires Steam Power.
- Uranium is revealed with Physics and enabled with Fission.
- Aluminum requires Industrialism.
When a Mine is worked, and it is not already on a resource tile, there is a small chance every turn that it will discover a new resource. A civilization must have the tech unlocking a resource to gain it via a discovery.
