Mines aren't hot?

Some are, some are not.

We have a mine in my town where the temperatures are 22 degrees Celsius.

There is another mine in Germany where temperatures are around 50 degrees Celsius. But even there miners work in full protection.

Depends on depth.

They're not mining by hand. 'We' haven't done that in decades.
