Illinois has some coal mining in the southern part of the state.
Fluorite (mostly abandoned), quartz (sandstone), calcite (limestone), clay minerals, and galena (also mostly abandoned). Mineral mining is not what it used to be in Illinois. Fluorite mines which once flourished in southern Illinois are now closed due to overseas competition. Galena was once mined in northern Illinois, but no longer.
