Mining
A homonym for "mind" is "mined", which is the past tense of the verb "mine" meaning to extract minerals from the ground.
To extract minerals there are three steps. These steps are mining, smelting, refining. First, the ore must be mined. Then it goes to a process where it is smelted to extract the minerals. Finally, it is refined where the mineral is purified.

Vein mining is used to extract ore deposits from the ground. This method involves following a mineralized vein and extracting the ore from it by digging underground tunnels to access the vein. It is commonly used for minerals such as gold, silver, and copper.
Rocks and minerals can be removed from the ground through open-pit mining, where large holes are dug into the earth to extract the materials. They can also be extracted through underground mining, where tunnels and shafts are created to access mineral deposits beneath the surface.
Open pit mining involves digging a large pit in the ground to extract minerals near the surface. This method is used for minerals found in horizontal seams or ore bodies close to the surface. Underground mining involves constructing tunnels and shafts to reach deep-seated minerals. Miners extract the minerals through tunnels and shafts, providing access to ore deposits located far below the surface.
In subsurface mining, tunnels or shafts are dug into the ground to access mineral deposits located deep underground. Miners use various methods, such as drilling and blasting, to extract ores and minerals from beneath the surface.
A person who digs for metal ore in the ground is called a miner. Miners extract ores like copper, iron, gold, and silver by breaking rock and retrieving the valuable minerals contained within.
