I will re-check, but in all instances I have read about, hitting a mine always resulted in instant sinking of the submarine. Mines generally packed as much explosives as a Depth Charge or Torpedo, both of which would be deadly with a direct hit.

I was re-reading Blair last night. In Oct. 1939, U-40 was speeding down the English Channel when it hit a mine. The boat sank instantly and everyone in the forward compartments and on deck was killed. 8-9 survivors in the rear compartments managed to escape by the escape hatch.
