Depends on what the mineral is, and where it is located. Some are mined by conventional surface mining with power shovels, some are mined in underground mines, and some are mined by drilling a shaft, and pumping a solvent (maybe water) into the ground- the mineral is dissolved in the solvent, and pumped back up again. It is then extracted from the solvent.
