FIL: Tumutukoy sa mga likas na yamang mineral na may ekonomikong halaga at maaaring minahin o kunin mula sa lupa para sa kapakinabangan.
EN: Mineral resource; mineral deposit
This isn't a common phrase you'd hear daily. It sounds like something straight out of a HeKaSi textbook or a DENR report. It literally translates to 'used mineral' which is weird. More likely, it's a formal, slightly awkward way of saying 'yamang mineral' (mineral wealth). You'd use it to sound smart in a school paper, but never to order at Jollibee.
'Gamit' (use) + 'na' (linker) + 'mineral' (from Spanish/English 'mineral').
This is a very formal and somewhat unnatural-sounding phrase. 'Yamang mineral' is the more common and natural term for 'mineral resources.'
