It could be that too, but I'm pretty sure I've actually noticed it happening without sneaking. Once I've made sure the coast is clear and safe to stand normally, I do so, then I go back and mine the minerals. Plus when I'm travelling on foot from loaction to location in the wilderness, which I do a lot instead of fast travel, I only use sneak if I'm stalking an enemy. Apart from that I'm running and sprinting through the wilderness and stopping to hack at the occasional ore vein I find. It's happened then as well... Unless I've accidently hit the sneak button on those occasions and not realised.
