Because Gold is found underground. It is a natural occurring metal.
Gold miners mined underground to access deeper veins of gold that could not be easily reached through surface mining methods. Underground mining allowed miners to extract gold from deposits that were buried deep beneath the earth's surface, leading to potentially higher yields of gold.
The miners were stuck approximately 2,300 feet underground in the San Jose copper and gold mine in Chile.
The Chilean miners were trapped about 2,300 feet (700 meters) underground in the San José copper-gold mine.
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.
Miners used techniques such as panning, sluicing, dredging, and hydraulic mining to find gold. These methods involved using water to separate gold from sediment and rock. Miners also utilized metal detectors to locate gold deposits underground.
Gold mining can be both surface and underground. Surface mining involves removing ore that is close to the surface by using heavy machinery, while underground mining involves tunnelling deep underground to extract gold deposits. Each method comes with its own set of advantages and environmental impacts.

I believe there was 32 miners.

The miners in Chile were trapped underground due to a cave-in at the San José copper-gold mine. The collapse blocked the exit and trapped the miners about 2,300 feet below the surface. Efforts were made to rescue them, resulting in their eventual successful extraction after 69 days.
