Underground activity? (6)

I believe the answer is:

mining

(Other definitions for mining that I've seen before include "Excavating (ores)" , "Laying down explosives" , "non-renewable industry" , "Extracting ore etc. from the earth" , "Extracting ores or coal from the earth" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
