Lemma 10.63.8. Let $R$ be a Noetherian ring. Let $M$ be an $R$-module. Any $\mathfrak p \in \text{Supp}(M)$ which is minimal among the elements of $\text{Supp}(M)$ is an element of $\text{Ass}(M)$.
Proof. If $M$ is a finite $R$-module, then this is a consequence of Proposition 10.63.6. In general write $M = \bigcup M_\lambda $ as the union of its finite submodules, and use that $\text{Supp}(M) = \bigcup \text{Supp}(M_\lambda )$ and $\text{Ass}(M) = \bigcup \text{Ass}(M_\lambda )$. $\square$
