Of all the sites, I think this one is the most adaptable for mining.
Elevation and Terrain
This is a very barren, hilly terrain with no water access. The southern part of the map near the highway entrance shouldn't be a problem, but as you progress north your planning options are going to be limited.
Water Table
Water at this site is incredibly sparse. You're going to have to plan very carefully where you put everything and from where you get your water. Your best bet for providing your own water is to colonize the southeast corner and the northern border with water towers. Then pray for rain.
Resources
There is a large coal deposit in the northwest corner, then two overlapping deposits -- one metal and one coal -- right where the highway exit lets people off. Given how dry this area is, you should probably consider making this a mining town.
Usable Land
The hills that streak through the map are a huge pain, but the most limiting factor is going to be the water table. Follow it carefully.
