Mine

A mine yields production every turn while it sits inside a city's region.

Production income has two effects: it is added to the global pool and it raises that city's per-turn draw cap (The production queue). So a city with a mine does not merely produce more, it also finishes expensive items faster — the same logic as an Workshop.

That makes a city with a mine the natural production centre for expensive items like the Siege.
