Where to find Rich Thorium Veins
Community-referenced locations with interactive maps and a clear distinction between reference data and actual spawns.
Reference reviewed :
Quick answer
Community references include possible Rich Thorium Vein locations in Silithus, Winterspring, the Eastern Plaguelands, Azshara, the Burning Steppes, and Un’Goro Crater. The referenced mining skill requirement is 275. These are reported locations, not live, guaranteed spawns.
Which zones should you check?
Count of Rich Thorium Vein location references from the GatherLite export available on ForEveroth as of 9 October 2026. These counts are neither simultaneous vein counts nor respawn predictions.
How do coordinates work?
Open a zone on our interactive mining maps, enable the rich thorium filter and select a marker. X/Y coordinates are percentages on that specific WoW zone map (UiMapID). X increases to the right; Y increases downwards. The map can generate a /way command for compatible addons.
Do not convert these directly to continent-map coordinates or Earth GPS: those are different coordinate systems.
Are these locations verified on WoW Forever?
No, not individually. Locations may have changed, different nodes may share potential spawn areas, and an expected vein may be absent or already mined. Only current in-game observations could verify active spawns.
Sources and reliability
Location references come from GatherLite (MIT license) and Wowhead Forever-derived records. See the Rich Thorium Vein entry, raw reference data (JSON), and our source methodology.
