Former coal mine usually referred to as "ON-IV".
Started in 1925 and closed in 1966.
The Oranje Nassau IV (located in Heerlerheide, Heerlen), the last and smallest mine exploited by the Oranje Nassau Mijnen, started its life as a ventilation shaft for Oranje Nassau III. In 1910 the construction of a mine shaft was started. However, the construction was halted and only reassumed in 1919. In 1927 the mine became operational.
Underground, the mine was connected to the Oranje Nassau III and, for safety reasons, also the Staatsmijn Hendrik. In 1966, it became the first of the Oranje Nassau mines to close; however, via Oranje Nassau III mining activities continued till 1973.
In its short life it produced 13,754,000,000 kilograms of coal. The mine was 740 metres (ca. 2,428 ft) deep.
The terrain is now used by the Sigrano quarry, a silversand mine, part of Sibelco.
