— President Andrés Manuel López Obrador enacted a plan two years ago to revive coal-fired power plants in northern Mexico and give preference to buying coal from the smallest mines.

 — Efforts to rescue 10 miners trapped in a collapsed and flooded coal mine in northern Mexico have intensified with hundreds of people involved in the operation.

Although the coal industry of Mexico is relatively small with 15 million tonnes of coal mined per year, the coal mines of northern Mexico are notoriously gassy and these three mines are among the gassiest. Recent estimates by Mexican experts suggest that combined emissions from the mines total 208. million cubic meters (m

A new World Bank report, "Managing Coal Mine Closure: Achieving a Just Transition for All," helps governments prepare for and manage coal mine closures and the associated impacts on communities and people's livelihoods.

 — Ten miners have been trapped in a flooded coal mine in northern Mexico for over 24 hours, as rescuers battle to reach them.

 — These laws regulate the activities that mining companies conduct in order to stake, maintain, explore and exploit mining concessions, and process and commercialise minerals and the use and enjoyment of the land where the mining concessions are located.

administrative frameworks for the development and management of mining and minerals in relation to the six themes of the MPF: Legal and Policy Environment, Financial Benefit Optimization, Socio-economic Benefit Optimization, Environmental Management, the Post-Mining Transition, and Artisanal and Small-Scale Mining (ASM).

 — Here are the five largest coal mines by production in Mexico, according to GlobalData's mining database. 1. Micare Mine. The Micare Mine is a surface and underground mine located in Coahuila. It is owned by Altos Hornos de Mexico SAB de CV and produced an estimated 4.756 MTPA of coal in 2020. 2.

Coal development in Mexico is concentrated in the northern state of Coahuila, which accounts for 99% of national production. [4] [5] Mexico produced just over 11 million short tons of coal in 2019, ranking 23rd globally. [6]

 — Planning for Flaring CMM. When methane utilization projects are not economically viable, flaring CMM can be an effective strategy for reducing GHGs and mitigating CMM-related mine hazards. Conditions in which flaring could be an appropriate strategy for a mine include: Gas is stranded at remote wellhead locations.
