Updated: 10 Jan. 2007 Notes: Coal mining in Labuan was started in 1847 by the Eastern Archipelago Company. Labuan & Borneo Ltd., was liquidated in 1902 and was succeeded by the Labuan Coalfields Co. Ltd. A maximum of 5,000 tons of coal a week was produced. Coal mining ended in 1911 because of frequent problems due to sea water seeping into the mines.
