Tajo La Conquista Coal Mine is a coal mine in the state of Coahuila, Mexico.
Location
The map below shows the location of the coal mine near Múzquiz, in the state of Coahuila, Mexico.[1]
Background
The Tajo La Conquista mine was originally developed to supply metallurgical coal to the La Rosita coking plant operated by IMMSA (Industrial Minera México SA), a subsidiary of Grupo México.[2] In late 2017, IMMSA announced that it would shut down the La Rosita plant[3], but the mine continued operating into 2019.[4] According to Mexico's Chamber of Mining annual report in 2021, the mine had ceased operations in 2019 and thus did not produce any coal in 2020.[4] In its 2020 Sustainable Development report, Grupo Mexico noted that the former "Tajo La Conquista" mine was under restoration and protection.[5]
Despite the mine's reported retirement, Global Data reported in 2021 that Tajo La Conquista had produced 20,600 tonnes, ranking fifth in production among Mexican coal mines.[6] However, neither this production figure nor the operational status of the mine could be confirmed with other sources.
