There was an okay mining cult in UW #1 as I recall but no mining keyword. The cult was of a son and daughter of Asrelia and Gustbran, IIRC. The men did the mining and the women ran the extraction and appeasement side.
Mining seems to be a thread that keeps showing up here. Maybe Issaries could do a spotlight on mining practices among various non-Mostali.
Were I in need of such a cult, I'd look at something along the lines of a shared subcult or minor cult between Gustbran and Asrelia. Or a local godling. Most deposits are the site of major battles and perhaps that generates some sort of magical entitty that would have to be propitiated.
