In a futuristic age where the Britannia Empire no longer needed gunpowder thanks to their weapons using an electromagnetic pulse, would it be so Hard to beleive that they are capable of synthetically manufacturing sakuradite. To explain why they still mined it, it could be that natural Sakuradite provides more power than the artificial version if there is one. They don’t reference any other place that has sakuradite aside from Japan, so it’s not realistically possible for them to have a massive army of knightmare frames with ordnance and vehicles all being run on sakuradite. Taking into consideration, all other countries not using knightmsre frames such as the Chinese Federation and EU. The mines would run dry to fast. How do they solve that? It is just a show, so no point in thinking to hard on it. If Lelouch destroyed the largest deposit, then sakuradite would run out in a few years when the world nations exhausted their reserves.

In our real world, we can create synthetic items, such as precious stones. With their advanced technology and Britannia’s near limitless resources, it is highly plausable that there is a artificial version of sakuradite or that Knightmsre Frames have other, just as powerful, forms of fuel.

Though it doesn’t not explicitly say sakuradite fueled a knightmsre, only that it needs and Uses it. The power pack zero gave to Suzaku may confirm that, unless Iran a piqued sakuradite.

Point is, the show doesn’t not give us many details on what it truly is. Back to the question. It must have been one of the largest, or THE largest deposit of sakuradite.
