Exploring Old Mines
Vertical shafts allow more efficient hoisting and are typical of large mines that followed a vein deep. Inclined shafts are economical in the sense that they follow the vein and stay close to it. Inclined shafts are also less hazardous to mine explorers. chute A "spout" built of wood used to load broken rock from above into waiting mine cars ...

What Is a Mine Shaft?
Shaft mining is an excavation method used to access an underground ore body from the top down. The term "shaft" refers to the vertical tunnels sunk underground for mining and engineering projects.. When the opening starts on the surface, the resulting tunnel is called a shaft. If the vertical tunnel starts underground and pushes upward, it's called a sub-shaft.

Inclined shafts driven in the coal were used when the dip of the beds would permit. Vertical shafts were used when the coal was deep. Many of the early mines had only one entry/exit point. Vertical shafts frequently used a furnace at the bottom of the shaft to create a flow of air to ventilate the mine.

Shaft Mining | Encyclopedia MDPI
A shaft may be either vertical or inclined (between 45 and 90 degrees to the horizontal), although most modern mine shafts are vertical. If access exists at the bottom of the proposed shaft and ground conditions allow then raise boring may be used to excavate the shaft from the bottom up, such shafts are called borehole shafts.
