Here is a guide I found for f2p players to make money through mining
Level 1-6:
If you plan on training mining only, then you can do the rune mysteries [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] and mine rune essence to sell for 35 each. If you plan on training mining and smithing, then mine [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]and tin (Falador mine is best due to the proximity of the bank and the [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]) to make into bronze bars that can be sold for 100 each. Check the forums on [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] to find bronze bar buyers (you don't have to be a member). Level 6-21:
Either way, by this time you should have enough [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] to buy a steel pickaxe from Nurmof (inside the Falador mine). Use the steel pickaxe and continue mining the essence or copper and tin. Level 21-31:
Now, go buy a mithril pickaxe from Nurmof with the money you've earned and use it to mine iron rocks in the southern portion of the Falador mine (low level miners mine here). Sell the iron ore at Falador bank for 100 each on world 1-5 (whichever isn't full when you look). Level 31-41:
Go buy an adamant pickaxe from Nurmof with your money. Mine the iron in the northern portion of Falador mine now. If the scorpions hurt you too much, then you can still mine the iron where you were before. Level 41-60:
Go buy a rune pickaxe from Nurmof or from players for 32k (32,000 coins) if there isn't one at his shop. Mine any coal rocks you can find (many coal rocks will be used by higher-level miners). Sell the coal for 180 each on worlds 1-5. An alternative may be to mine gold rocks in the crafting guild if you have over level 40 crafting or anywhere else you can find them. You can then sell the gold ores for 450-500 each (just find a buyer in the forums). Level 60-70:
You now have access to the mining guild. There are 37 coal rocks and 5 mithril rocks in the mine. You can continue to mine coal or gold, but you can also mine mithril rocks that sell for 400 each on the forums. Level 70-85:
You can continue mining the rocks you did from level 60-70; however, at level 70 you can mine adamantite ores that sell for over 1k each. Level 85+:
Congratulations, you can mine rune; however, for f2p (free to play) players, the only rune rocks are found in high wilderness. The ores can be sold for 12k each, so it's your choice to mine them or not.
heres another way to make money
This runecrafting guide includes mining rune essence, which I would recommend getting a high level. Before you start:
Complete the Rune Mysteries [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] by first talking to the Duke in the Lumbridge castle. Bring the mysterious object to Sedridor in the Wizard Tower . Then, take it to Aubury in Varrock rune [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]. Come back to Sedridor and you've finished the quest. Level 1-22:
Go to Varrock and get a pickaxe (highest you can use). Mine 1,120 rune essence. Use the talisman from the quest and get a tiara. Then, go to Falador east bank. Go south to the air altar. Use the talisman on it, then use the tiara on the altar inside. Then wear the air tiara and go back to the bank. Get as much essence as possible from the bank and go back to the altar. This time you'll only have to click the altar to get inside. Keep doing this until you finish off the essence. When you're finished, you can sell the air or keep them. Level 22-44:
Get 10,005 essence and make air runes. By this time, you should be able to make 3 air runes per essence. This makes a when buying for 30-35 each. You'll be able to sell the air runes 15-20 each. That means you make 15-25 profit per essence. Level 44-55:
If you're a member, then get 12,332 pure essence and make natures. If you're f2p (free to play), then get 22,198 essence and make it into airs. Relax, you get profit if you're buying them. You can make 5 airs per essence. That means for 30-35 each essence, you get 45-65 profit per essence. That's over 1 million gp! Level 55-66:
36,625 pure essence if you're making natures; 65,924 essence if you're making airs. Air-makers can make 6 airs per essence now. If you're making airs, that'll make you almost 4 million gp! Level 66-77:
108,815 pure essence if you're making natures; 195,866 essence if you're making airs. Air-makers can make 7 airs per essence now. That's 14 million gp! Level 77-88:
323,355 pure essence if you're still making natures; 582,039 essence if you're making airs. Air-makers can make 8 airs per essence now. That's over 52 million gp! Level 88-99:
960,962 pure essence if you're making natures; 1,729,731 essence if you're making airs. Air-makers can make 9 airs per essence now. At level 91, nature-makers can make 2 natures per pure essence. At level 99, air-makers can make 10 airs per essence. That's over 181 million gp!!!
