'Bodenschatz' is made up of 'Boden' (ground) and 'Schatz' (treasure). It therefore refers to a valuable substance hidden in the ground or beneath the Earth's surface.

Verbs such as 'abbauen' (to mine), 'fördern' (to extract), 'entdecken' (to discover), and 'erschließen' (to develop) are frequently used with 'Bodenschatz'. 'Reiche' (rich) and 'bedeutende Bodenschätze' (significant mineral resources) are also typical collocations.
