Unlock the first shop, Sam's general store, simply by progressing through the story. This also applies to Carol's flower shop. Here are the next steps you'll want to take:
First, repair the bridge leading to Gus and Melanie's house.
Then, renovate the house for Gus and Melanie.
Next, you'll need to restore the mine shaft.
Gus will be standing near the mine shaft, and you need to talk to him to get a hammer because you can't mine ore in the mine without a hammer.
As you can see, the first few levels of the mine will have a relatively simple layout. Mine any ore you come across. Then use the pickaxe to dig soil and search for the ladder leading to lower levels. While most types of ore you find in these early levels will be stone and iron ore, there's a chance you might get lucky and find some opal or jade ore in the lower levels of the mine.
After returning from the mine, head to Gus's place to retrieve the ore you found earlier, which has been refined by Gus. This is where, if you found jade or opal ore, you'll refine them into jade gems and opal gemstones. These can be sold for a good price early in the game, making tasks like expanding your farm, repairing buildings in Beacon Town, and buying seeds and fertilizer much easier.
I hope this information proves helpful as you embark on your adventure in Beacon Town in Harvest Moon: Light of Hope Special Edition Complete.
