Can you add hireable units that can mine for me?
In time, this might happen in some way, shape, or form. But the fact of the matter is that there are other things with greater priority (like more booze) that are likely to come into being sooner. But while mining units may eventually be added, in the meantime there are several perfectly good kinds of pickaxe waiting for you to use them.

So mining units haven't been deconfirmed, just aren't a priority. The purpose of the suggestion was to give a reason for them to be a priority. Hope that's a good explanation. : )
