On one hand I hate situations when you aren't given necessary info on a mechanic that is difficult to test. Because how can you test the factors for finding mine entrances... You would need to dig in dozens of mines, in different ways and even then the random chance would make it difficult to guess which factor had what impact.
And that's why I came up with this hypothesis hoping to get some explanation.
On the other hand I'm fine with the explanation given. It's clear - working in the mine will slowly increase your chances of finding the entrance. Whether the direct factor is number of tiles dug, number of ore boulders mined or number of supports built - I don't care too much. All of this will come as I work in the mine. And I don't think we really need to know the details to play "properly".
