Note : on the plus side, any mining equipment that isn't connected to an outer power line will survive the EMp without any problem. Being down in a mine makes a rather effective EMP shielding.
Things like ventilators and pumps aren't exactly sensitive equipment either - the computerized control will probably go down the drain, but odsd are the heavy-duty parts will survive. Jury-rigg soem controls and you're probably good.
The main risk is in my opinon that if the power can't be brought back soon enough, you'll end up with a flooded mine.
