Minerals are extracted from the mantle through processes such as volcanic eruptions, where molten rock from the mantle (magma) reaches the surface and solidifies into mineral-rich rocks. These mineral-rich rocks are then mined or quarried to extract the desired minerals. Additionally, some minerals from the mantle may be found in oceanic crust and are extracted through underwater mining operations.
