Mining co's have the big added bonus of being useful for laundering dirty gold. That's what Munk was about.
Like as in, if we end up sending some Marines in to the Gold Libraries of the Roths or whatever cabal monsters we want, and don't want to claim all of it. It's the way to launder it back in. You just say some mine turned out to be wayyy more profitable than the exploration had estimated.
