Get to the entrance to the mines, where there is Buck waiting for you. Talk to him and go along the tunnel to its very end. To your left, there is an elevator that you need to take. Once downstairs, push the wagons over and kill the pirate, further on, when he turns away from you.

A bit further, there will be another enemy waiting for you. Then, wait for a whole group of enemies get near you and use the Chained Takedown skill to get rid of all of them without raising the alarm.

Then, push the wagon, filled with explosives, towards the pirates below. Take cover somewhere and kill out all remnants.

Go straight ahead to reach a cave. There is a group of enemies here, including two snipers. In order to hide from their bullets, push over wagon after wagon, while getting closer and closer to them. Also, watch out for pirates on your left.

Cross the bridge and kill out the remaining enemies, including an armored one. Further, discharge your gun at the wooden reinforcements to be able to collapse the ceiling onto your enemies. This will enable you to kill another sniper that is hiding behind a cover.

As you go forward, you will reach a door that can only be opened using the compass. Go through the tunnel and kill the monitor lizard. Use the mechanism in the ground to uncover a secret passage, and take it. As you go down, kill another monitor lizard. Keep jumping over from a ledge onto another.

Kill the monitor lizard and follow the path to reach an antique elevator. When you manage to crawl from under the remains of the elevator, take the path, while watching out for the snake. Jump over to the wooden platform and follow it to reach the temple. Kill the monitor and collect another part of the compass, from the altar.

The temple will, then, start to collapse. Take the stairs to the right to run. Keep running along the rocky ledge, until you reach the area shown in the screenshot, where you need to jump over to the other side. As you run on, you will, automatically, jump over a hole in the ground and get out of the cave.
