The Word mine when translated from English to Japanese:
kouzan = ore mine; a mine, the noun, where one mines minerals
watashi no = belonging to me; mine
Note that there are other Words besides watashi for "me." Watakushi is the gentlest, considered most polite and formal, deferent. Watashi is a more casual form of watakushi. Boku is considered masculine; it is most often used by boys and men in more casual context than wata(ku)shi. It can, however, be used by females in contexts where the woman is assuming a more masculine role, be it a traditionally male job or position, or simply a girl being fiercely a tomboy. Ore ("oh-ray," not "oar") is the harshest, and is considered impolite and somewhat arrogant if used by one of lower station.
