Template:AV Mining is an essential part of building a fort in Dwarf Fortress. There are several reasons you might want to mine, such as searching for various stone types, or simply to create the basic tunnels and rooms in your fort.

There are two types of jobs associated with this skill: mining and channeling. Mining removes a section of wall while preserving both the ceiling and the floor. Channeling, however, removes the floor, replacing it with a downwards ramp.

Since the skill of mining also is used in combat, a dwarf with mining enabled that is carrying a pick will increase their mining skill through combat drills.
