[T] hose parts of the earth which are capable of being got from underneath the surface for the purpose of profit. The term therefore includes coal, metal ores of all kinds, stone, slate, and coprolites, but not the common clay, sand, or gravel found in the upper soil. It includes all substances of commercial value which can be got from beneath the earth, either by mining or quarrying, except common clay or sandstone.(Jowitt, 2nd ed. 1977, pp. 1184-1185).  1, record 2, English, - minerals

As minerals are part and parcel of the land the ambit of the word "minerals" assumes considerable importance. Unless there is something in the context or in the nature of the transaction itself which would induce a court to give it a more limited meaning, the word "minerals" includes oil and gas.

Mineralogy and geology of the Maungaparerua halloysite deposit in New Zealand.... The halloysite deposit was formed by hydrothermal alteration of rhyolite flow rocks. Superimposed on the hydrothermally altered halloysite is deep intensive surficial weathering resulting from the humid climate on the extreme tip of the North Island. The deposit has been drilled and the cores have been analyzed mineralogically and chemically. Drilling has shown that the... altered rocks contain about 50% quartz and fine amorphous silica and 50% of a mix of halloysite, kaolinite, and allophane with a small amount of plagioclase feldspar in the coarse fraction. The upper 8-30 m, with an average of 15 m, of the halloysite alteration deposit consists of relatively soft clay.  2, record 5, English, - alteration%20deposit
