Shaft mining, is where vertical or almost vertical tunnels are dug into the ground for access to minerals that are deposited in the ground. This type of mining is suitable for minerals such as coal.
Drilling on the other hand, is where boreholes are made deep into the ground to access minerals that are deeply seated and mostly in liquid or gas state. The method is mostly used for minerals such as petroleum.
