Well, I'm no native English speaker, so I have to rely on what they're 
saying. I found however: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adit
So they write:
An *adit* (from Latin /aditus/, entrance)^[1] 
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adit#cite_note-ac-1> is an entrance to an 
underground mine <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underground_mine> which 
is horizontal or nearly horizontal,^[2] 
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adit#cite_note-2> by which the mine can 
be entered, drained of water,^[3] 
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adit#cite_note-3> ventilated, and 
minerals extracted at the lowest convenient level.

Maybe I misinterpreted this.
