South-east Varrock mine

The South-east Varrock mine is a good low to medium level mine located outside the southeast corner of the city wall. The mine contains no resident monsters, which makes it suitable for newer players or players with a low Combat level, with iron and the raw materials for bronze. However, there is a level 6 Giant rat slightly to the north of the mine, which is aggressive to players level 12 Combat or lower.

It is also arguably one of the closest free-to-play mines in relation to a bank (along with the Dwarven Mine), making it popular for power-miners who wish to bank the iron ore that they obtain. The nearest bank is Varrock East Bank, which is accessed via going north by the city wall and taking the east entrance, although Varrock West Bank and the Grand Exchange are only slightly further. However, competition for iron ore here makes it hard for low levelled players to get iron ore.

Ores
Distributed throughout the mine there are:
 * 4 Iron rocks
 * 6 Tin rocks
 * 9 Copper rocks

There is a nearer mine with several more higher-levelled ores at the South-west Varrock mine.
