Miner

A miner is a person who extracts ore, coal, or other minerals from the earth through mining.

There are two senses in which the term is used. In its narrowest sense, a miners is someone who works at the rock face; cutting, blasting, or otherwise working and removing the rock.

In a broader sense, a "miner" is anyone working within a mine, not just a worker at the rock face.
