At level 52 mining I got 60 gold ore in 15 minutes. Of which I picked up 4. That is 14560 experience an hour and at a price of 400 each 96k gp an hour. I used the brimhaven house portal and dueling ring and even though I was in a low population world the ores respawned fast enough.
I'll do coal tonight at the tree Gnome stronghold mine or the coal trucks, depending on which one banks faster (I'll test that too).
Edit: I tested coal. It is 40 seconds from the bank to the coal truck and 53 at the tree gnome stronghold mine. But because you also have to run to the ores, I think the Tree Gnome Stronhold mine is faster, atleast you don't need energy potions for that method.
At level 53 mining I got 83 coal in 15 minutes. That is 16.6k experience an hour and at a price of 220 ea, 73k gp an hour. So gold is indeed better, but coal isn't far off.
