This reminded me of a late-1990s Taiwanese RPG by DOMO Studio called "Tun Town" (I'm not sure if it was translated into English...), in which the main plot was a fictional town drilling too much into a volcano to tap energy eventually caused it to erupt.

Not sure how scientifically sound that was lol

Also the anime darling in the franxx!

Some of the synopsis:

> In the early 21st century, the progress of human civilization was accelerated by ground-breaking discoveries in mining technology, allowing the extraction of magma energy for a new low-cost, all-encompassing energy source.

Also the theme of Gorillaz’ song Fire Coming Out of the Monkey’s Head, where shadowy figures dig too deep for the jewels in a volcano island.

Ah, the classic tale of digging too greedily and too deep. Whether it’s Gorillaz' shadowy figures or Middle-Earth's dwarves, everyone seems to forget that volcanoes and precious jewels come with a hot-tempered landlord.
