EN: mine (for minerals)
This isn't your ex's DMs; this is where people dig for actual gold and other precious stuff. Think Baguio gold mines or the controversial mining sites you see on the news. It's a place of hard labor, potential wealth, and often, a whole lot of environmental issues.
From Spanish "mina".
Can be used figuratively to mean a source of something valuable, e.g., "mina ng impormasyon" (a mine of information). The word "minahan" is a more common and specific term for a mining site.
