Minerals can be found in volcanoes and a player's store; there are currently 150 minerals on Mars that are classified in 6 groups of 25, with each group slightly rarer than the previous, and each mineral has a fixed rarity within its group.
Each mineral also has a specified max quantity that can be found in a single dig.
The most valuable and rarest mineral is Areanitium Dieinstienium with a base value of 100-250.
The formula for determining the value per unit is round(base * (Settlement Population/Divisor)), where Divisor is 30 if you govern the settlement and 50 if you don't.
Minerals, when found, go into your cargo and can either be sold in settlements or added to your storage at your homestead.
