Mercury is mostly obtained by reduction from the mineral cinnabar. Mercury occurs in deposits throughout the world and it is harmless in an insoluble form, such as mercuric sulfide, but it is poisonous in soluble forms such as mercuric chloride or methylmercury. ( Wikipedia ).
Chlorine itslf is not mined. The materials used to produce chlorine (NaCl) is mined. Chlorine is produced by electrolytic reaction of a chloride solution (e.g. NaCl) in a process involving a diaphragm cell or a mercury cell. The mercury cell process has been largely discontinued because of its associated loss of mercury to the environment.
The ground state shorthand notation for mercury is [Xe] 6s25d10 [Xe] 6s26d10 [Rn] 6s26d10. Mercury is the only metal that is liquid at standard conditions for temperature and pressure.
Oh, dude, I mean, who even keeps track of that stuff? Like, I'm pretty sure it's around 2,000 metric tons a year, but like, who's counting, right? I mean, it's not like we're all carrying around little scales measuring mercury production. Just know it's a lot, and maybe we should be a bit more careful with that stuff.
Various materials such as minerals, metals, coal, and gemstones are mined from the earth. Mining involves extracting these natural resources from the ground for various purposes, such as manufacturing, construction, and energy production.
The miners dug deep into the ground and mined gold ore.

Copper is mined in pits ... which were underground at one point in time and are now above ground albeit at a lower elevation.
Nobody MADE opals. They're mined out of the ground.
