The joke here is that it refers back to the older Warcraft RTS games, where you had to pay gold and lumber to train units.

What to do
Description
It costs the Alliance approximately fifty gold to train a miner, two hundred to train an engineer, and three hundred to train a foreman. Every Alliance goon that we kill isn't just a military victory... it's a financial one. Now get down there and destroy their workers!
Where to go
Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- It's All Mine
All over this cavern you'll find unguarded piles of ore, just waiting to be tampered with. Our first choice would be to steal the ore, obviously, but that requires mine carts, protection, and labor... three things we just don't have.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Into the Mountain
The next phase of operations takes place deeper within the mine. Speak with Tak'arili for your next assignment. Just follow the mine cart rails to the southeast, and follow the curve around. You'll see him at the entrance to the mine's upper chamber.
