Greg discovered that his yard contained a vein of silver running through it$.$ Greg managed to mine some of the ore and sell it to a silversmith. Is the contract for the ore governed by the UCC or the common law?

Multiple choice question.

The contract is governed by the UCC Article $2($A$)$ because no one actually owns the mineral rights under their property.

The contract is governed by the UCC Article $2,$ since the ore was taken from the ground and sold as a good.

The contract is governed by the common law because Greg is not a merchant.

The contract is governed by common law, since anything connected with real estate is not a good.
