The coal samples were obtained from the middle Benue Trough, as described in the detailed section on geological settings. Samples were collected from coal mines in Akunza, Ome, and Shiga in Obi Local Government Area of Nasarawa State in Nigeria. The coal samples were bagged, tagged, and labelled AKZ, OME, and SHG for Akunza,

Malaysia''s economy continued to improve in 2003 owing mainly to growth in the manufacturing and mining sectors. Malaysia''s GDP in 1987 constant dollars grew by 5.2% in 2003 compared with 4.1% in 2002.
Coal is a black or brownish-black sedimentary rock that can be burned for fuel and used to generate electricity.It is composed mostly of carbon and hydrocarbons, which contain energy that can be released through combustion (burning). Coal is the largest source of energy for generating electricity in the world, and the most abundant fossil fuel in the United States.
Geologic examination should look for information about (a) fall location in the mine and relative to overlying topography, (b) timing of the roof fall relative to mining and support, as well as time of the year, (c) the shape of the fall scar, (d) fall orientation (especially if the roof breaks along fractures or slips at angles to entry), (e

The largest reserves of coal are located in Merit Pila, Sarawak and in Maliau and Malibau, Sabah. Production in 2016 decreased to 2,414,765 tonnes from 2,559,444 tonnes produced in 2015 that came from eight mines, all in Sarawak. Malaysia import large quantities of coal for its domestic requirements.
The first published report on the coal geology of the Pocahontas coal field was compiled by Captain Isaiah A. Welch (1896) on the basis of field investigations he began in 1873. Commercial coal mining began in the district in 1892. Then, Marius R. Campbell, U.S. Geological Survey,

Authors hope that this paper will be interesting for European geologists as a first information about the Merit Pila locality and the Mukah locality. Keywords: brown coal, coal basin, geology, mining
Coal is a combustible black or brownish-black sedimentary rock, formed as rock strata called coal seams.Coal is mostly carbon with variable amounts of other elements, chiefly hydrogen, sulfur, oxygen, and nitrogen. Coal is formed when dead plant matter decays into peat and is converted into coal by the heat and pressure of deep burial over millions of years.

There has been some interest expressed in leveling the old spoil piles that occur throughout western North Dakota, especially some of the larger mines.
