The pawn mine drill is opposite to the Pawn grab drill. Instead of focusing on the capturing of the pawns, you should focus on moving a piece to a target square without landing on any square that a pawn attacks.
For example, see the example given.
What are the minimal moves the rook must makes to reach h5 without landing on a square where it can be captured by a black pawn? Note that h3-h5 does not work because on h3, the rook can be captured by the g4 pawn. Another two-move path, c5-h5, does not work because the rook can be captured by the b6 pawn.
The shortest number of moves is three. The path c2-h2-h5 is an example, as are c1-h1-h5 and c8-h8-h5. For drill try to focus on finding all the minimal paths.
