You cannot mine polonium as the longest lived isotope, polonium-209 has a halflife of only 100 years and most isotopes of polonium have halflives measured in seconds to minutes.

Traces of polonium can be found in any uranium ore as it is a daughter of uranium decay.

Usable amounts of polonium are manufactured using nuclear reactors.
