How this is ranked

From the game’s data, not opinion: the Pal’s Mining level first. Every Pal has the same base work speed (100), so it can’t break a tie; a partner skill that says it helps Mining at a base goes first, then the Pal that eats less (food 1 to 9). Passives, condensing and level make any single Pal better; this is each species’ base.

The best Mining Pal at each stage

The top three you can catch, in the wild or as an alpha, by each player level.

By level	Best you can have
Lv 15	Tombat Mining 3 · wild from Lv 12 Penking Mining 3 · alpha at Lv 15 (wild from Lv 20) Incineram Mining 3 · wild from Lv 10
Lv 30	Digtoise Mining 4 · wild from Lv 19 Incineram Noct Mining 4 · wild from Lv 16 Mammorest Mining 4 · wild from Lv 26
Lv 45	Menasting Mining 5 · wild from Lv 31 Palumba Mining 5 · wild from Lv 32 Moldron Mining 5 · wild from Lv 32
Lv 60	Astegon Mining 7 · alpha at Lv 55 Blazamut Mining 7 · wild from Lv 46 Knocklem Mining 7 · wild from Lv 55

Raise every worker by one level

Tetroise’s partner skill raises the Mining level of every other Pal at your base by 1 (it doesn’t stack). The game’s words:

Tetroise wild from Lv 48
Masonry Archelon: Can be ridden While at a base, increases the Mining Work Suitability Level for all other Base Pals by +1. (Does not stack)

By work level: Aegidron (Mining 8, alpha at Lv 79), Astegon (Mining 7, alpha at Lv 55) and Blazamut (Mining 7, wild from Lv 46). Every Pal’s base work speed is the same (100), so the level decides; ties go to a partner skill that helps the job, then to the Pal that eats less.

Is this a tier list?

No. It’s the game’s own numbers, not votes or opinion: work level from each Pal’s data (Palworld 1.0.5), then partner skills that say they help the job, then food. Filter it by the level you can catch Pals at, or leave out legendaries.
