Are earthquakes more common in mining regions than they would otherwise be? e.g. is the frequency of earthquakes in those regions different when mining is occurring than when it is not?

I am interested in earthquakes generally, but also particularly interested in earthquakes strong enough to have damaging impacts (to life and infrastructure).

Can mining trigger earthquakes?
