For some awful reason, the miners are shared spawns. So you end up with 10 people spinning in circles trying to tag miners.
If you're doing this with lots of people around (I imagine only going to be an issue in the opening days of this patch), you may find that spraying each Incapacitated Miner won't give you instant quest progress as it appears they are shared between everyone else in the area.
Thankfully these npcs stand in lines, so you can shoot down each line until all have been accounted for before moving to the next one. So you just need to stand there for a little bit before they all get counted.

Description
Black Blood? Nasty stuff. Glad I got this mask here. Nobody should be workin' in that mess. It gets inside ya, messes with ya head. Some folks get dizzy, seein' things that ain't there. Some even sproutin' strange scales. Makes me itch thinkin' about it. An' there ain't no cure. Best we can do is ease the pain an' maybe help the symptoms a bit. I got a "cure" brewin'. It's just soup, but they don't know that. It's almost "done," but it could use some flavor.
Where to go
Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Looks like another one down the hatch, huh? I'm tellin' ya, these Black Blood dig sites are chewin' up workers faster than I can hire 'em! Every day, one of my guys goes down with the shakes, sproutin' nonsense about seein' tentacles in the dirt...

That's all we can do for now. But if you really wanna help us fix all this, you ought to talk to our local engineer--uh, Tricksy... or maybe Trixxy. She's got her workshop set up further down in the cave, and Benny's got her tinkerin' away day and night on some kind of...
