you can't gate minerals, but you can gate ultra miners)

Which is why you want an IT in your alliance - THEN you can gate minerals!

I'd be careful about doing that in a single-winner game. Right when you think you're doing well, there's a fair chance the IT will suddenly gate to all your worlds and blow up all your starbases for an instakill (after which they will be gating your minerals). Backstabbing an AR is easy mode because all you need in the late-BB/nub eras is 128 chaff and a few missile ships per planet, and with IT gatescan (and the ability to immediately take over all the worlds via gating pop) it's even worse.
