Semantic games seem silly. If the parent prefers "placed" to "existed since formed in the Earth", then let's grant them the lingual shortcut. Likewise for "for Mankind" instead of "having existed for no particular purpose but being readily available for the usage of the dominant species of the land which can heavily benefit from their extraction and processing."
I have a difficult time believing that we arrived on a planet perfectly suited for our habitation and rife with resources that become unlocked at the exact point in our progress where we have technologies that require them, purely by chance.
