To mine, you first need a Mining Hammer.
These are sold in T2 (Stronhad) for 1200 gold. Once you have that in your inventory you need to go find an area in which you can mine. I believe that anywhere with a mountain in the background during combat will work, need someone to verify this, though.
Anyway. Once you are in a suitable location, you must successfully defeat a monster - anything will do, even greys. After you beat it and exit looting, the mining icon will appear at the bottom of the screen. Click it to enter the mining mini-game. Put your mouse over the giant rock that appears and hit spacebar to throw a hammer at it. It will break up, and you have to throw hammers at the pieces that appear.
Lather, rinse, repeat, and you will get either an ore or a worthless rock. I have only had rocks appear while mining at Troll Bridge, though.
If you have a Stone Saw (sold in T4, Atlimus) you can turn the ore into geodes.
Otherwise you need sticks to turn the ore into ingots.
