WoW Mining 1 - 600 guide will show you how to raise your mining skill from 1 - 600 in the quickest and most cost effective way. This guide is updated for the Mists of Pandaria expansion.
Prerequisite
Mining can be a great profession to make money with, it is also relatively quick to skill up to 600. As well as mining ores from various nodes, you can also smelt the ores into bars which will also skill up your mining. So when your bags are full of ores you should smelt everything which means you can get though this guide and to skill level 600 much faster.
Also please note that this guide is not about making money with mining, it's about raising your skill level to 600 as quickly and economically as possible. If you choose to sell the ores and bars you mine then you can make a handsome profit from it, there's no doubt about it. However that is not in the scope of this guide, just getting to 600 as quickly as possible.
If you are looking to make more gold, you should check out my

If you don't have any or only some of the above, don't worry you can still carry on, it will just take you longer to get to 600.

There is also plenty of Mithril Ore inside Dreadmaul Rock, but skip this area as you'll have to dismount to get in there and this will slow you down.
Thorium Ore 200 - 275 Un'Goro Crater
Learn Artisan Mining from your nearest trainer.
Nice and easy this one, just follow the circle! Please note that you won't be able to mine the Rich Thorium Veins until you reach a skill level of 215. So make sure you smelt the Thorium to help you get there quicker.
Fel Iron Ore 275 - 325 Hellfire Peninsula
Learn Master Mining from your nearest trainer.
You can (if you really want) stay here until you reach 350 which means you can skip the Nagrand section below, however I found this to be the most tedious section of the guide. It took me ages to reach 325 and when I did, I couldn't stand the place any longer. So it's your call.
Adamantite Ore 325 - 350 Nagrand
On your travels through Nagrand you will find Rich Adamantite Deposits, however you will need a skill of 350 to mine these so skip past them until you reach that level. You will find a few caves scattered about also. These do contain the odd Adamantite deposit but when I went round them, it was mainly the rich ones. So again it's up to you if you want to explore them.
Cobalt Ore 350 - 400 Howling Fjord
Next stop is Howling Fjord. You'll need to learn Grand Master Mining first, click on a trainer below for their location.
Saronite Ore 400 - 450 Sholazar Basin
Sholazar Basin is a gold mine for Saronite Ore (Should have called it a Saronite mine haha!) There will be a few rich deposits but you won't be able to mine those yet so just skip 'em.
Obsidium Ore 450 - 475 Mount Hyjal
It's now time to learn Illustrious Grand Master Mining from your nearest trainer.
Elementium Ore 475 - 500 Twilight Highlands
It's now time to learn Illustrious Grand Master Mining from your nearest trainer.
Ghost Iron Ore 500 - 600 The Jade Forest (Pandaria)
Learn Zen Master Mining from your nearest trainer.
So far The Jade Forest looks like it is the best place to farm Ghost Iron Ore. It's all over the starting zone and close to mountains too.
You can also venture over to the Valley of the Four Winds:
