A miner has been killed as a second tragedy in a fortnight hit the industry.
The man died after being trapped by a fallen roof in the Kellingley Colliery, North Yorkshire, UK Coal said.
A second miner who was trapped by his leg was brought out alive.
The incident came on the eve of the funeral of the first of four men who died earlier this month following the flooding of the Gleision Colliery in Cilybebyll, Pontardawe.
Police said the man who died was in his 40s and from North Yorkshire.
The injured man, also in his 40s and from West Yorkshire, was taken to Pinderfields Hospital, Wakefield, with minor injuries.
A police spokeswoman said: "Yorkshire Ambulance Service's Hazardous Area Response team, who are trained and equipped to work underground, were deployed to the incident, supported by mine rescue specialists. At around 7.30pm, two miners were brought to the surface by North Yorkshire Ambulance Service and the mine rescue team.
"One man in his 40s and from the West Yorkshire area was taken to Pinderfields hospital with minor injuries. Sadly, the other miner, a man in his 40s from North Yorkshire, was pronounced dead at the scene.
"A joint investigation into the incident will be carried out by specialist mine inspectors from the Health and Safety Executive and North Yorkshire Police."
The UK Coal colliery, near Knottingley, is the largest remaining deep mine in Yorkshire. Its two main shafts are almost 800 metres deep. Only one of them is used by miners, the other is used to transport coal. It supplies local power stations and produces some household coal.
