Phandalin Miner's Exchange
The Phandalin Miner's Exchange was a trading post and guildhall in Phandalin that purchased materials from local miners. The exchange was located to the southwest of Phandalin, and directly east of a trail used by the local miners. It was marked by a sign bearing an image of two crossed pickaxes over a lump of gold.
The company would purchase quantities of ore and gems from the miners of Phandalin. Each piece was carefully measured and weighed, and then its price was determined. In addition, the Exchange had a wide variety of goods for sale, including some illicit goods for those on friendly terms with the guildmaster. It was also the best place to purchase carts and wagons in Phandalin. It further functioned as a records office, which registered claims to specific parts of the land, such as valleys, streams, and excavations.

History
In 1491 DR, the business was headed by Halia Thornton, an agent of The Zhentarim. Although the local brigands, known as the Redbrands, hassled almost all the businesses in Phandalin, they did not even attempt to ruin trade for the Phandalin Miner's Exchange due to Halia's command of the Blue Cloaks
