TheWoWDBIf you find yourself stuck on questline progression after completing this quest and A Little on the Side, the next quest is Rune Ruination. Rather than fighting your way OUT of the mine with Initiate Goldmine, you want to fight down and further in -- there will be a rune that will be pretty obvious, the Twilight Rune of Earth, that will give you that next quest, Rune Ruination. You'll go all the way into the back of the cave, completing Rune Ruination along the way, and receive the quest A Fiery Reunion. Completing that quest will give you a port out of the cave and let you continue on the zone questline progression.

During this quest, my game decided to quit on me. When I logged back in, the questgiver had of course despawned, while I was inside the mine.
Instead of hearthing however, I left the immediate sub-zone (after getting out of the cave) and then flew back into the sub- zone and re-entered the cave. A few steps in, the quest giver spawned, just as Sizel mentioned.
I was searching the NPC to turn in this quest for ages and finally got stuck behind some pillar in the water. Used the HS to port home and run back into the (§"&$)=( cave.
A few steps into the mine the NPC to turn in the quest spawned right next to me...

Description
You know, while we're here, we might as well take care of the Twilight's Hammer intruders. This place used to be ours, after all! I'd help, but with my totems and weapons broken, I'm pretty helpless.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- A Little on the Side
You know, it's our moral obligation to save all of this Elementium from the shale spiders. Those creepy things eat the stuff! What a waste! So, what do you say? 90/10 my way?
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Rune Ruination
Examining the Twilight Rune of Earth, you can almost feel its power extending further into the Elementium Depths. It's probably connected to other runes. Initiate Goldmine thinks that you should destroy all of them.
