What is TerraMine?
TerraMine is a GPS-based mobile game. You claim digital mines on a real-world map. Mines generate USD over time. TerraBucks (TB) are used to buy more mines.

Your passive-income properties.
🪙 TB
In-game currency used to buy new mines.
⚡ 20× Boost

How to start
Do these steps in this order. You do not need to understand the rest of the game yet.
Create an account
Install TerraMine and register.
Use referral code TM-T4BKN
Use it before buying your first mine. New players start with 10 free mines and can get 10 extra free mines through the referral offer.
Allow GPS
The game uses your real location to show mines on the map.
Claim your first mines
A mine can be Rock, Coal, Gold or Diamond. The type is random.
How do mines make money?
Every mine produces a small amount of USD over time. Rare mines usually pay more.
All earnings shown in this guide are before withdrawal fees. Your final cashout depends on your country tier.
The 20× boost
This is one of the most important parts of the game. When active, your mines earn much more USD.
- Keep the 20× boost active as much as possible.
- Boost affects USD mine earnings, not TB rewards.
- Without the boost, mines still earn — just much less.
How to get more TB
TB lets you buy more mines. The easiest active method is mini-games.
- Open a mine with a mini-game available.
- Play the mini-game.
- Collect the TB / materials reward.
- Move to the next available mine and repeat.
- Rewards may change as TerraMine rebalances mini-games.
Your simple daily routine
If you do only these things, you already understand the core game.
Keep 20× active
This protects your passive USD earnings.
Farm TB when you have time
Mini-games are optional active work. More TB means more future mines.
Buy more mines
Each new mine adds more passive earning power.
Maintain old mines
Do an activity / mini-game / eligible interaction before a mine becomes inactive.
Understand the withdrawal fees
Your country belongs to a tier. The tier decides what percentage is removed when you cash out.
United States
Strongest ad markets outside the US.
Many European and other moderate ad markets.
Weaker / less-established ad markets.
If your country is Tier 2 and you cash out $100, the fee is $17 and you receive about $83.
What to learn next

A future / expanding way to earn extra rewards through third-party offers.
Quick questions
Do mines create TB?
No. Mines mainly generate USD. TB comes from mini-games and other reward systems.
Do I need to play all day?
No. The passive core is owning mines and keeping the boost active. Mini-games are for faster growth.
Are the fees permanent?
No. TerraMine says fees can be reviewed and changed as regional markets change.
