You just said it! "Mining" can be both a noun and a verb, depending on how it is used. When it is used as a noun, it is called a "gerund"-- a verbal noun. To use it as a noun: Mining is a popular occupation for people in West Virginia. "Mining" can also be a verb, the participle of "to mine" -- The men were mining gold in California during the Gold Rush.
