Explanation:
Maybe you're looking for the term borehole ?

As Wikipedia says, that is the general term for a hole drilled in the ground for mining. The entry specifically on 'borehole mining' may also be relevant.

Hello
I think it might be this but I'm not sure exactly what the Swedish means.
Entrance holes can be small and lead to bigger holes like in underground galleries but can also be used before drilling a bigger hole (see second reference)
