I was thinking there could be a sign showing how much of the mine is left, which updates every little while. The percentage would be what is left, so 60% left, and the 60% is just a number that you could try, it doesn't have to be that, adjust it to whatever you think is best, but if you mine cleanly and neatly, it will run out of ores at about 50% and people don't always mine in a very organized fashion..... so... I thought 60% was a fair number
And mining a 40% or whatever it is, you will not get surface ores very quickly, there are so many blocks to mine and when a mine is totally out of ores, it's around 50% and that takes a really long time to mine still.
The point is, it's to help when many people are mining, I don't think people should stop and wait (especially in a donor mine), but should be able to continue mining for a reset.
