The main area is the area where all the bigger buildings of the mine are. An 
airshaft could be a single node outside of this area and that's why a 
polygon can not express that the mineshaft is part of the mine.
But perhaps you meant something different with polygon.

You almost always know the name of the mine. But it is too complicated to 
create a relation for the mineshaft, to assosiate it with that mine - 
escpecially when only the mineshaft is mapped.

All mineshafts i know have their own name. That's why you cannot use the 
name-tag for the name of the mine.

So at the moment there are:
name -> name of the mineshaft itself
mine -> name of the mine which the mineshaft is part of
operator -> name of the operator of the mine
