The term 'MINERAL jackpot' is a combination of two words, 'MINERAL' and 'LODE'. A MINERAL is a naturally occurring inorganic solid that has a definite chemical composition and a characteristic crystal structure, color, and hardness. A LODE is a deposit of ore or minerals, typically found within a vein or seam in the earth. Together, these two words form the term 'MINERAL jackpot', which refers to a large deposit of ore or minerals that can be mined for profit.
