Mining Concepts & Terminology

This section provides a practical reference for anyone interacting with mining data on the Minestarters platform who does not have a geology or mining background. Every concept is explained in terms of what it means, how it is measured, why it matters for investment decisions, and how it appears in the Minestarters UI.

If you are a geologist, this section may seem basic. It is designed for Web3 investors, curators without mining backgrounds, and platform team members who need to understand what the data means without needing a geology degree.
