I can find no evidence that such a mine exists. There seems to have been some interest in prospecting for and developing coal resources in the area in the 2006–2011 period, but no actual mine seems to have been excavated. The article's statement, "The mine produces around 8 million tonnes of coal per year," is certainly not supported by the reference cited for it. Deor (talk) 22:32, 11 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

delete This report from 2021 says, "Coal: some deposits exist, e.g. near Aranos, but these are unsuitable for commercial exploitation." There's no sign on GMaps pf any mine in the area. Mangoe (talk) 21:48, 12 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Fails verification. The article was created with only one source which discusses coal reserves in the general area, not a specific mine. The coords were added much later and point to the village of Aranos. –dlthewave ☎ 15:20, 13 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
