Mountainfoot Strip Mine is a very large mine operation in southwestern Azshara. It is situated in what was formerly the site of the mountain of Forlorn Ridge. It is stated by Horzak Zignibble,^[1] and mentioned twice on a Cataclysm preview for Azshara,^[2] that the Bilgewater goblins literally moved the mountain to strip mine the minerals below. It is implied that the mountain where Gallywix Pleasure Palace is located is the former Forlorn Ridge.

During the Burning Legion's invasion, the mine fell under the Legion's control. Its residents were enslaved by nathrezim and were later killed or rescued by the defenders.
