@ Raz :thankyou for the correction i took the ref from following site

Ref Site :http://www.missionislam.com/knowledge/index.htm

topic : Zakat and Fasting ( its a Pdf file )

"*Rikaz (Buried Precious Metals or Minerals)[/B]
These are any precious metals, stones or minerals that are buried in the earth (such as buried treasures or mines) When they are found, 1/5th (20%) Zakat is due upon the find.
The Prophet (Peace be upon Him) said:
"There is no compensation for one killed or wounded by an animal, or by falling in a well, or due to working in mines: and one-fifth (Zakat) is compulsory on Rikaz,"

(Al-Bukhari and Muslim)"

and
about Khumus : http://www.al-islam.org/beliefs/practices/khums.html#1

Khums" literally means "one-fifth or 20%". In Islamic legal terminology, it means "one-fifth of certain items which a person acquires as wealth, and which must be paid as an Islamic tax". The Qur'an mentions it in the following verse:

Know that whatever of a thing you acquire, a fifth of it is for Allah, for the Messenger, for the near relative, and the orphans, the needy, and the wayfarer...(8:41)

In this verse, the word "ghanimtum" has been used which has been translated as "you acquire". As explained above, it means "certain items which a person acquires as wealth." What are these certain items? According to the ahadith of the Imams of Ahlu 'l-bayt, the items which are eligible for khums are seven:

1. the profit or the surplus of the income.
2. the legitimate wealth which is mixed with some illegitimate wealth.
3. mines and minerals.
4. the precious stones obtained from sea by diving.
5. treasures.
6. the land which a dhimmi kafir buys from a Muslim.
7. the spoils of war.

If i am not grasping the right meaning or idea tau kindly let me know . thank you .

God bless
