Tin is the hardest to find there is not a single zone, where you can only find Tin, there is always Copper or Iron aswell. Mine Tin until 75, then smelt all of Ores. After that, turn Copper and Tin Bars into Bronze Bars. This should take you around 90-95 Mining skill.

At 75 you can learn how to smelt Silver Ore. This will help you get your skill to 125. If you find any Silver Vein, smelt the ores before you reach 115 in Mining, because it's better to smelt them while they are still yellow or orange and Smelt Silver turns green at 122.
