For you to start mining in Doraemon Story of Seasons, you need to unlock the mining tools by talking to Doraemon, Smitty, and Blake at the Mine area, near Large Fossil in Swoosh Falls. Mining will allow players to mine different types of Ores from Gold Ore, Silver Ore, Iron Ore to Copper Ore. It will also allow you to obtain rare items.
Purchasing Ore in Smitty shop is expensive while mining ore in the mine site is much affordable, it only requires stamina to do it.

When you break through some spots in the mining area, a rope to the lower floor will pop out. The lower you’ll get the more precious materials you can mine, but it will be more difficult and requires you to upgrade your existing pickaxe.
This technique is common to all offline games, especially games in ’90s where you save and load the progress to get better chances.
To get deeper to the floor from floor 5 to 7 or more. Before start digging on each floor, what you need to do is to Save your progress, your objective is to find the rope for the next floor. Once you’ve found it, remember it and Load the saved progress and re-dig the spot.
