Up to you. You can try it this way or you can randomly mine in caves until you find something. Even with the changes this world, I (so far) haven't had any issues with losing characters to L1 cave-ins.
edit: and even with a minehole, there is still a risk of a cave-in (not sure if bug or intentional and if bug, if it's been fixed). If you prospect to see if there's ore, you might not be able to get to it from the cave entrance.
