What's the purpose for mining for "minerals?" What makes minerals so valuable? What applications do minerals have?

If someone is mining for gold or silver I understand. But I don't understand what makes minerals so sought after; especially when there's talk of going as far as space for looking for them

they have higher than average concentrations of certain elements. This makes it profitable to extract said elements rather than say extracting them from dirt or sea water.
