Haemimont Games weren't content with just letting players camp one of the earlier areas in Jagged Alliance 3 which is why they introduced mine depletion mechanics which will force you to capture more territory without just waiting for your mercs to become overpowered.
However, there is no indicator how long the mines last for besides that one warning that the mine is running dry. Therefore, it could be a good idea to keep a list of each mine's duration and daily income around.
Thankfully, through the data mining done by Audaki, we can know the base income of each mine as well as their duration, for those that can actually run dry. Make sure you check out Audaki's mods, some of which fix bugs that made it into the final game, like the Dual Shot AP calculation when wielding two pistols.

Base income is what you would get from the mine without any modifiers. The modifiers can increase the mine's daily yield by increasing the nearby town's loyalty, doing associated mini-quests, hiring additional staff or even making small talk with generic NPCs at the location.
Drachenberg and Fosse Noire are easily the most profitable mines but acquiring each of them requires you to go through a few hoops, like maxing out your reputation with the communists or solving the Diesel problem.
