The mineral with the metal in it is an ore. For example the mineral Galena is lead sulphide, from which lead is extracted.
This mineral will typically grow in quartz veins; these surrrounding minerals holding the ore are called "gangue" minerals. But often the veins are so narrow you have to dig out a fair bit of the so-called country rock either side of the vein; this is "waste rock" or "mullock".
So although Galena is over half lead by weight, lead might only for m a few percent of the total material dug out.

I think Gold is a mineral and a metal too.
The metals occur in the earth dissemined.
When we have a good concentration (that can be mined economically) of a mineral (like hematite for iron for example) this concentration can became a mine.
Other minerals:
Ilmenite and Rutile - Ti
Iridium - (Ir,Os,Ru,Pt)
Bauxite - Al
