Thank you very much for the help!

Best Answer

Your first sentence using "mine" is the correct one.

Mine is a possessive pronoun, so you use it in place of a noun, e.g. "that's mine". My is a possessive adjective (also called a determiner); you use it to describe a noun as your own, e.g. "that's my umbrella".
