The owner of Daw Mill Colliery confirms it is to close, ending 47 years of coal production at the Warwickshire mine.
UK Coal Mine Holdings said the majority of its 650-strong workforce are facing redundancy.
The move comes after what the company's chief executive described as a "ferocious fire" at the mine last month.
"This has been a terrible week, not just for the company and its employees but also for the energy security of the country," Kevin McCullough said in a statement.
"Having successfully completed the restructuring, and being only weeks away from returning to healthy production, this ferocious fire has dealt a blow to everything we tried to achieve over the last 12 months - in just ten days.
"We are now exploring the possible transfer of some colleagues to our other mines.
"Regrettably however, this news is likely to see the majority of the Daw Mill workforce being made redundant and our thoughts and best wishes are with these colleagues and their families at this difficult time."
