Yes, when they do this it is called surface mining.
A quarry is the name for a place where rock is taken from the ground. It is always above ground. A mine can be below ground or at ground level and is where ore is taken from the ground. Marble is quarried, coal is mined. That is the difference of a mine and a quarry.
The phrase "canary in the coal mine" refers to a warning sign or early indicator of potential danger. It originated from the practice of miners bringing canaries into coal mines, as the birds are sensitive to dangerous gases and would show signs of distress or die before the miners were affected.
Surface mining is often less risky for miners than underground mining because it is conducted in open pits or quarries, reducing the risk of cave-ins or tunnel collapses. Surface mining typically involves less exposure to hazardous gases and chemicals that are common in underground mines. Additionally, surface mining operations are generally more mechanized, reducing the need for as much manual labor in potentially dangerous conditions.
Underground mining involves digging shafts and tunnels to access mineral deposits buried deep in the ground. Miners use specialized equipment to extract the ore, which is then brought to the surface for processing. Support systems are in place to ensure the safety of miners and to prevent collapses in the underground mine workings.

the Chile miners were trapped in the mine for 69 days
Yes, coal miners work in coal mines to extract coal from the ground. They use heavy equipment to dig tunnels and remove coal from deposits in the earth.
