To see the icon, bring up Control Center by swiping up from the bottom of the home screen.

- For photos and videos: Apple TV (2nd or 3rd generation)
- For music: Apple TV, AirPort Express, or AirPlay-enabled speakers
If you do not have any of the required devices above, AirPlay will not not even display under Control Center.

Perhaps the other device you are trying to communicate to does not have AirPlay capability, but the iPad Mini certainly does.

Don't listen to them, they are wrong.
As SergZak pointed out, if you do not have an airplay compatible device nearby that your iPad can detect, Airplay will not show up in control center.
What AirPlay device are you trying to Airplay to?
