Most of the metaheuristics are made by imitating the action of the animals. In this paper, we proposed Mine Algorithm. The Mine Algorithm is a metaheuristic that imitates the action of the human being. Speaking of search, the field in which the know-how and the heuristics of the human being are melted best is the mining industry. In the Mine Algorithm we formalize the action pattern of the human being by focusing the mine business. The Mine Algorithm uses various searching techniques fluently and shows equally good performance for broad problems. That is, it has good generality. We show the improved generality of the Mine Algorithm by the comparing experiments with the conventional metaheuristics.
