## Description

The Mining Charge is a timed explosive that can be used to destroy terrain or mine ores.

## Use

Hold the Mining Charge and activate it to arm and drop the charge. It will explode after 10 seconds. Picking up the charge or activating the lever will reset the fuse.

## Notes

- The explosion power/radius seems to be the same as the [Demolition Charge](/wiki/demolition-charge), just with a timed explosion instead of remotely triggered detonation.
- The mining charge will explode immediately if destroyed while armed (such as by fire).
