The term "In-Situ" means "in the natural or original position or place". In ISR mining, a fluid, often made up of oxygen, hydrogen peroxide or sulfuric acid, is injected into the deposit through boreholes.
This fluid dissolves the mineral sought, the resulting solution is then pumped back to the surface, where the mineral is recovered.
This process leaves the landscape relatively untouched as it doesn't involve removing overburden, or waste rock, to access the ore body.

This is a metaphorical term owing to its similarity with mining precious metals from earth where resources are limited.
Bitcoin is the most adopted example of cryptocurrency, however, the nature and underlying technology of all cryptocurrencies is quite similar.
In cryptocurrency mining, "miners" use powerful computers to solve complex mathematical problems and validate transactions.
