Not exactly. When drilling for oil you can usually get high accuracy. We missed our target by 30cm on a 6000 meter long well.
But that’s in perfect conditions, with seismic surveys, a year of planning and solid rock. With todays bottom hole assemblies you can know pretty much exactly where you are.
Drillling into a mountain filled with caves and stuff won’t be easy task.
Plus with such porous formation, you will likely lose all your drilling fluids, further filling up the cave. Then you have collapses and cave ins.
Along with an unmapped formation, drilling sounds like an impossible plan.
