ISR involves injecting leaching solutions into the ore deposit to dissolve the CRPs, which are then pumped to the surface for processing.
In-Situ Recovery (ISR) mining is a unique method of mineral extraction that offers a relatively low-impact and cost-effective way of retrieving valuable resources from a deposit. Unlike conventional mining methods that involve the physical movement of soil or rock, ISR focuses on the use of injected leaching solutions to dissolve the targeted mineral to be extracted. Hope this is enough to make you understand that mineral resource mining have to do with in-Situ Recovery (ISR) mining and it is quite different from crypto mining.
Cryptocurrency mining and In-Situ Recovery (ISR) mining are fundamentally different concepts that belong to completely different world. The first to the world of digital finance, and the second to the world of physical resource extraction.
Cryptocurrency mining is a process in which transactions for various forms of cryptocurrency are verified and added to the blockchain digital ledger.

Once a problem is solved, the miner adds the block of transactions to the blockchain and gets rewarded with a small amount of cryptocurrency.

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 process leaves the landscape relatively untouched as it doesn't involve removing overburden, or waste rock, to access the ore body.

Crypto mining has a significantly smaller environmental footprint compared to traditional ISR mining. ISR mining involves the use of chemicals that are inserted into the ground to dissolve the minerals, while crypto mining only requires computational power, which in turn uses electricity which can be sourced through renewable energy.
