Mining Planet
From SciFi/Fantasy Wiki
Using isolated mining towns in the American West or Australian Outback or entire countries dependent on mining such as the oil rich rentier states in the Middle East as probable inspiration, some science fiction writers have described Mining Planets. The several Star Trek series seem especially prone to the phenomenon.
