How to unlock the Plains Prospector achievement in Warframe - Definitive Guide

Before you start, make sure you go to Old Man SuumBaat at Cetus and get the Cutter from him. Make sure the cutter you got is in your gear slot. Now go out to the plains find these red areas on rocks, sometimes these will be blue. When you have your cutter out you will hear a ping and it gets faster and louder when you get closer to the deposit.

The best place to mine deposits is in the caves as you get loads of them in there

I agree, the largest deposits that I found were on the Western area of the Plains near the big base on the water (not to be confused with the one with the flag). Although, I don't know if this has changed or not.

EDIT: Big addendum. The first cave on the immediate left upon entering the Plains (near the first lake) has one of the largest mother lodes I've seen. At least 20+ mining sites in that one alone.

Easy to earn while looking for all the caverns. Pretty much each cave has at least a dozen spots to mine, some of the larger ones that I looted had over 30!

If you're working on all of the Plains achievements, this won't take any focused effort to get. I completed it incidentally while working on Tomb Looter, Pest Control, and Champion of the People. I still have another 38 km left to finish Marathoner as well.

To begin mining, you are going to need to buy one of the cutters from Old Man Sumbaat in Cetus, then equip it in your gear. Once in the plains pull it out and you will have a bit of an overlay. On the right side in the middle of the screen there is a distance meter that tells you how close a deposit is, and on the left it shows how many are in the range. You are required to mine 100 ore/gem deposits. They are only found on rocks, so look for areas that have a bunch of rocks lying around. Caves are also a good place to find ore deposits.

An advanced third-level cutter greatly speeds up the process, since if you pick it up it automatically marks fossil deposits on the map.
