The entrance to underground mines is called a portal or adit. It is the point of access for miners and equipment to enter and exit the mine.
A horizontal shaft into a mine is called an adit. Adits are used for access to underground mines and are typically driven into the side of a hill or mountain.
There are various types of mines in the world, including open-pit mines, underground mines, placer mines, and drift mines. Each type of mine is designed for different geological conditions and extraction methods.
Coal mine: A type of mine where coal is extracted from underground or open-pit mines to be used as a source of energy. Gold mine: A type of mine where gold ore is extracted and processed to produce gold, often found in underground mines or as open-pit mines. Diamond mine: A type of mine where diamonds are extracted and processed from volcanic pipes or alluvial deposits, with some mines operating underground while others are open-pit mines.

Coal mines can range in depth from a few hundred feet to over a mile deep, depending on the location and mining method used. Underground coal mines are typically deeper than surface mines due to the nature of the coal deposits.
