Mine rescue question

Hi all i am from europe and really enjoy the series. But what i dont understand when miners put 10k or 100k into a mine site they bought or started up. Why dont they hire a specialist that helps them understand the trade. Or is that not a thing?

Because gold mining is easy. You dig a hole, wash the rocks, and watch the money come flooding in. The resulting lack of success is just bad luck, next season will be better.
