The El Maghara mine is an underground coal mine in Egypt's Sinai peninsula. [1] Opened in 1964, [1] the mine produces low-rank bituminous coal. [2] Located about 250 km northeast of Cairo, it is the only coal mine in Egypt. [3] Operations were approved to resume in 2014, with reserves estimated at 21 million tons of coal. [4]
[citation needed] Smelting with coal (or its derivative coke) was a long sought objective. The production of pig iron with coke was probably achieved by Dud Dudley around 1619, [90] and with a mixed fuel made from coal and wood again in the 1670s. However this was probably only a technological rather than a commercial success.
