Ore skinning
From WoWWiki
Ore skinning is the act of gathering ores and other related items from the corpse of dead creatures, exclusively giants and elementals.
To do so one must have the appropriate level of Mining and a mining pick, and simply act as though they were gathering from any other ore node. Similar to skinning the player requires a mining skill of at least five times the target mob's level, but unlike skinning miners can not skill up this way.
