The Banovići Coal Mine is a coal mine located in the Tuzla Canton.  The mine consists of three surface mines: Čubrić, Turija and Grivice and the underground Omazići mine and has coal reserves amounting to 208 million tonnes of lignite, which makes it one of the largest coal reserves in Europe and the world.  The mine, which is owned and operated by RMU Banovići, has an annual production capacity of 1.27 million tonnes of coal.  The coal mine used in 2014 still steam locomotives on its railway. Pocahontas Exhibition Coal Mine, also known as Pocahontas Mine No. 1, or Baby Mine, is an inactive coal mine in the Pocahontas Coalfield, near Pocahontas in western Virginia.  The mine was the first in the sub-bituminous coal of the Pocahontas Coalfield, opening in 1882.  In 1938 it became the first exhibition coal mine in the United States.  Uniquely, it was possible to drive one's automobile through the mine, entering through the fan opening and exiting through the original entry.  The practice continued until 1970, when it was discontinued due to damage to the roof of the mine from car exhaust. The Hail Creek Coal Mine is a coal mine located within the Bowen Basin at Hail Creek in Central Queensland, Australia.  The mine has coal reserves amounting to 970 million tonnes of coking coal, one of the largest coal reserves in Asia and the world.  The mine has an annual production capacity of 5.5 million tonnes of coal.  In 2011, seven million tonnes of coal were produced.

The Hobet 21 Coal Mine in West Virginia was operational between 1974 and 2015.  Straddling the border of Boone County and Lincoln County in the Appalachian Mountains, the Hobet 21 mine was one of the largest mountaintop-removal coal mining operations in West Virginia.  Originally owned by Fil Nutter, the mine used both underground mining and strip mining techniques, and later even more intensive surface mining using a dragline.  Increasing productivity and profitability encouraged workers to successfully strike for their health plan in 1993, which resulted in unusually thorough coverage for mine workers at this time.  The Hobet mine was incorporated into Arch Coal in 1997, along with several other mines, following booming coal demand.  The mine was sold two more times: to Magnum Coal in 2005 and to Patriot Coal in 2008.  Patriot Coal subsequently went bankrupt in 2015, ending mining operations at Hobet for good.  The Hobet 21 Coal Mine site was once a mountainous highland region covering about 25 square miles.  Mountaintop-removal coal mining causes adverse environmental and human health effects.  Notably, streams and springs can become permanently filled in with rubble and toxic runoff that concentrates downstream, polluting human water supplies. The Coal Hill Coal Railroad began as a coal mine on the north face of Mt. Washington, then known as "Coal Hill", begun by Jacob Beltzhoover in 1825.  This mine was operated by a series of persons, finally by James M. Bailey, who extended the mine completely though the hill to the south side of the hill in 1861.  The mine was then sold to the Pittsburgh Coal Company, and rails from the mine were extended an additional one half mile to a new coal mine on the south side of Saw Mill Run.  The rails were extended to a third mine, for a total length of one and one half miles.  In spite of this short length, the railroad had 3 locomotives and 280 coal cars.  The narrow gauge railroad delivered coal from these mines to South Pittsburgh via an inclined plane, which ran from the northern end of the mine to Carson Street in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.  The railroad was sold by the Pittsburgh Coal Company to the Pittsburgh and Castle Shannon Railroad in 1871.  After this sale, the mine was enlarged to form the Pittsburgh and Castle Shannon Tunnel, and the train tracks were extended to Castle Shannon, Pennsylvania.

Coal mining is the process of extracting coal from the ground.  Coal is valued for its energy content, and, since the 1880s, has been widely used to generate electricity.  Steel and cement industries use coal as a fuel for extraction of iron from iron ore and for cement production.  In the United Kingdom and South Africa a coal mine and its structures are a colliery; a coal mine a pit; the above-ground structures the "pit head".
