A question on mining

Hello,
Yesterday, thanks to being interdicted by an Asp with a 25,000 credit bounty (prob took me 10 minutes to kill in my sidey) I was able to buy a Hauler; which I promptly stripped of shields to make room for an 8T and 4T cargo bay as well as an refinery with 2 hoppers. Made a little cash today picking up minerals, I noticed however that the real cash is to be made mining metal. Maybe I'm doing it wrong, but when I go to the system map it tells be that the belt I'm in is "Metal Rich". Does that mean metal and mineral or is there a different description for minerals? Oh, and I'm sorry I forgot your name but thank you to the commander in the asteroid field who exchanged some banter with me. Space can be lonely after all.
 
the type of belt you need to make the most cash is pristine metallic but in my experience you get minerals no matter where you mine.

Ok, thanks. I probably spent an hour in a metal rich belt and everything was coming up minerals. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't in the wrong kind of place for what I wanted.
