Case of Mines
http://dbpedia.org/resource/Case_of_Mines
The Case of Mines or R v Earl of Northumberland was decided in 1568. Rather than the usual four judges, a full panel of twelve common law senior judges, on appeal, decided “that by the law all mines of gold and silver within the realm, whether they be in the lands of the Queen, or of subjects, belong to the Queen by prerogative, with liberty to dig and carry away the ores thereof, and with other such incidents thereto as are necessary to be used for the getting of the ore.”

The royalties payable by custom to the UK government have been passed by British statute to the former dominions early in their recognition as dominions.
