📋 About This Mod
If I was going around, filling in my map, myself, as I explored mines; I would put a note, on the map, as to what each mine was. That way I wouldn't go half way across the country and waste time mining in an iron mine, if I needed gold!
This mod adds the type of ore in each mine to it's name on the map, so mines like 'Bilegulch Mine' become 'Bilegulch Orichalcum Mine.' It also, optionally, adds a number of map markers, to mines on the map, so that main cities don't have ores appended to their names.
The mod was rebuilt from the ground up for Skyrim Special Edition. Special care was taken to resolve ALL bugs that existed in the previous versions. It was then cleaned with SSEEdit and an installer package was built for the different options.
Mines With Altered Names

Type Changed Map Markers
Soljund's Sinkhole and Moonstone Mine (Cave -> Mine) The cave is short, contains more than enough mining spots, and the only Moonstone mines were unmarked. It is also referred to as a mine by the NPC at it's entrance.
Darkwater Crossing (Mine -> Settlement) Goldenrock Mine is now marked, itself. The settlement can be shown as a settlement.

💡 Beginner Tips
- If you use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, install it manually or via manager and place it near the end of your load order to avoid overwrites.
- Check if you have any mods that change mine names (like 'Immersive Mines')—if so, load this mod after them to ensure the markers stick.
- Since it's an old mod, test it with your current Skyrim version; if it doesn't work, look for a similar updated mod.
