Basically, anything that is not grown has to be dug out of the earth. That includes all metals, all minerals, oil and gas deposits. Odds are the power you are using in your computer right now came from mining- coal, oil, gas or uranium. Your computer contains 37 different elements that were obtained by mining. The wires that bring electrical power to your home are metals- from mining. It would be hard to find a room in your home that does not contain something that came from mining.

Is a pencil mined or grown?
A pencil is not grown; it is primarily made from materials that are mined. The core of a pencil is typically made of graphite, which is a form of carbon that is extracted from the Earth through mining. The wood used for the pencil's casing usually comes from trees, which are grown and harvested. Thus, while some components are mined and others are grown, the pencil itself is manufactured, not directly grown.
