| Coal was discovered in the mid-19th century by Willem Hendrik de Greve, and mining was pioneered in the area in 1876. | WIKI |
| Coal was discovered in this area by Dutch engineer Willem Hendrik de Greve in 1868. | WIKI |
| In the pre-independence period, coal production peaked in 1930, at more than 620,000xc2xa0tonnes a year. | WIKI |
| [3] Coal production in this mining area was able to fulfill 90 percent of the Dutch East Indiesxe2x80x99 energy needs. | WIKI |
| [6] By 2008, the mine had estimated reserves about 90.3xc2xa0million tonnes of coking coal, of which 43xc2xa0million tonnes was mineable. | WIKI |
| [5] The mine produces about 500,000xc2xa0tonnes of coal per year. | WIKI |
| Also there are still several original relics such as the Mbah Soero tunnel, workers and mine workers housing (Tangsi Baru and Field Land), coal filtering, railway factories, government offices, settlements, municipal government. | WIKI |
| Ombilin Coal Mining Heritage of Sawahlunto is an outstanding example of a pioneering technological ensemble planned and built by European engineers in their colonies designed to extract strategic coal resources. | UNESCO |
| Built to exploit the exceedingly rich Ombilin coal deposits, located in the inaccessible mountains of West Sumatra, the Ombilin Coal Mining Heritage of Sawahlunto is an extensive technological ensemble consisting of twelve components located in three functionally-related areas: Area A, consisting of open pit mines and labyrinthine underground mining tunnels together with on-site coal processing facilities, supported by a full-facility purpose-built mining town nearby at Sawahlunto; Area B, an ingeniously engineered rack mountain railway together with numerous rail bridges and tunnels, linking the mines to the coastal seaport, across 155 kilometres of rugged mountain terrain; and Area C, a dredged harbour and newly-constructed seaport at Emmahaven on Sumatra's Indian Ocean coast from where the coal was shipped throughout the Netherlands East Indies and to Europe. | UNESCO |
| This complex technological ensemble was planned and built as a fully-integrated system designed to enable efficient deep-bore extraction, processing, transport and shipment of industrial-quality coal. | UNESCO |
| Criterion (iv): Ombilin Coal Mining Heritage of Sawahlunto is an outstanding example of a technological ensemble designed for maximum efficiency in the extraction of a key, strategic natural resource xe2x80x93 in this case industrial grade coal. | UNESCO |
| The engineering technologies included deep bore vertical tunneling of mine shafts, mechanical ore washing and sorting, steam locomotion and rack railway, inclined and reverse-arc rail bridge construction, rock-blast railroad tunnels, deep-dredge harbours, and coal storage in climate-controlled silos. | UNESCO |
| Each of the three areas includes the necessary attributes to understand the integrated system of coal exploitation and transportation xe2x80x93 with its systemic linkage of shaft and tunnel mines, a 155 km long mountain railway system, and seaport. | UNESCO |
| There is a proposal to develop the silo at the Emmahaven Port coal storage facilities as a staging point for the presentation of the property and as an entry point for visitors from outside West Sumatra. | UNESCO |
