Mining Store
To access the Mining Store, you can trade Miner Magnus in Neitiznot (North) just east past the rocks
He can also be found in the Donator Zone, in the room with a furnace.
Skilling Shop
The Dragon Pickaxe and Inferno Adze can be bought from the Skilling Point Store, this can be found by trading Max either at Edgeville, or at the Donator Zone.
The Inferno Adze is mainly used as a hatchet. However, it can be used as a pickaxe but it is only equivalent to the rune pickaxe. This means that the Dragon Pickaxe, which only costs 500 skill points is a much better option for mining.
Chief Thief Robins Silver Stall
The Dragon Pick axe can also be stolen from Chief Thief Robins Silver Stall, which can save spending 500 Skill points. However this item is very rare.
Shooting Star
Every pickaxe, excluding the Inferno Adze, has a gilded version available. These gilded versions are exactly the same as the normal versions, just with a golden trim. To obtain these you pay with star dust, which can be obtained in the Shooting Star minigame.

Non-donators who do not want to venture into The Wilderness will have to stick with mining Adamant. You will have to mine roughly 99.715 Runite Ores, or 131.204 Adamant Ores in order to reach 200 million experience from level 99.
Location of Rocks
Neitiznot (North)
Neitiznot (North) contains all the types of Rocks except for Rune. There is also a furnace/ anvil so players can train their Smithing skill at the same time.
North-East of the KBD Lair
The only area where Non-Donators can mine Rune ore is located in the Wilderness. This rock is located north-east of the King Black Dragon's Lair. If you are Mining here be careful as Player Killers may come to kill you.
Donator Zone
As the name of the place suggests, you need to be a Donator to enter this area. Just to the North of the bank, you can find one of each of these rocks: Coal, Gold, Mithril, Adamant, and most importantly Rune.
