The Century Mine was an underground coal mine in Belmont County, Ohio owned by American Energy Corporation, a subsidiary of Murray Energy. It was the last remaining mine in the county before it was shut down in 2022. The mine produced around 5 million tons of coal per year. Unlike other mines in Ohio, Century Mine used longwall technology that enabled it to operate with relatively fewer workers. The mine had applied for a permit to extend operations by five years in 2017 and expected reserves to last for another 35 years.
