Historically speaking, there were a number of small mines in the grasslands of western north america until about 40 years ago. I suspect it was the same in central asia. So its not just a game quirk.
As for mining grasslands in the game, I've found that mining areas even in advance of your city expanding to that tile can make for an easier time of it down the road. Workers etc are more vulnerable later in the game, so the more work they can do early, the better.
