When ex-Prime Minister John Major was at school, also attended by his elder brother, he was identified by the teachers as 'Major Minor'; which has nothing to do with your question but there we are.

I'm 99% sure that OSHA and other mining regulations prohibit minor miners.
I worked underground (but not as a miner) for 10 years, and I seem to recall that minors were not allowed under any circumstances.

Yes but not in the U.S. There used to be kids working in the coal mines here but it is now outlawed. My father quit school and worked in coal mines in Illinois when he was in his early teens to help support his family. Many underdeveloped countries still use child labor in their mines.
Then again.... if you have a small mine and don't produce much you could be considered a minor miner.

Don't they use children in mines because they are smaller and can fit into tight spaces? So the answer is yes.

Only if one of your parents is a major Major!

In the US, no.
But in 3rd world countries? Yes.
