The only riches you'll get out of the Gold Mine are the bonus points and a bunch of 1-Ups...as well as a really funny case of bad perspective in the first section. You'll see what I'm talking about.
Gold Mine
First Section
The first enemies you'll see are men who slide down the wall above the mine entrance. You can shoot them down easily, but you can also hit them with a stick of dynamite - which makes no sense whatsoever, since they're all the way over there.
The men in the mine carts throw dynamite at you. Some of them will be in the foreground to strike at you. Hope they like the taste of steel.
Blimps will fly in from the side and shoot at you when they reach the center of the screen. A stick of dynamite or the G-Gun works well against them.
The mini-boss is a gold version of the giant robot cowboy from Carson City. The bullets from its guns fan out this time - two to the left, two to the center, two to the right. Other than that, the same rules apply.
Second Section
Now we're in the mine.
The red robots from the Carson City bar rear their ugly heads again, as well as those guys that roll around all over the place.
You'll be facing weirdos on top of mine carts that throw sticks of dynamite at you. If you can somehow shoot one down, they'll drop a red gem worth 5000 points. They're pretty fast, so you'd better be ready to kill one if you have the intent to grab a bunch of items in this stage, since there aren't really very many to collect.
The mini-boss is that machine in the background. Shoot the purple orb at the top, and watch out for the mini-chainguns that hang from the ceiling. The turrets' shots alternate between regular bullets and bullets that home in on you, so take them down as you see them while working on the mini-boss itself. If you need the points at this point, the mini-chainguns will definitely hook you up quite well, and there aren't any other enemies that show up while you fight the mini-boss, which is a plus.

Third Section
The boss here is a giant robot crab. Throw a lasso at the green jewel on its forehead, then shoot at the jewel. After a while, it'll cover its face. Avoid the arms as they hit the ground, and avoid the lassoes that the crab spits from its mouth. It will also shoot bullets from the hole in its head, so watch out for those, too. When it uncovers its face, you can shoot at it again.
