Is "mined" a typo? If it is, what is the correct word? If it is not, what does it mean?

Selected answer:subjected to data mining - roughly: analyzed and eploited
Explanation:
Data mining has evolved from the relational databases businesses use to finetune marketing efforts. These databases are “mined” much like mountains are mined for precious metals, with the computer applying modern statistical and computational technologies that sift through data, detect patterns, and distill a very targeted and carefully focused marketing hit-list.
