Шаблон:Infobox Company Hillsborough Resources Limited was a privately-held coal mining company headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

Hillsborough operated the Quinsam underground thermal coal mine near Campbell River, British Columbia from 1987, serving the local and west-coast United States cement industry,[1] and the Crossville underground coal mine in Tennessee, United States serving the regional power utility and industrial markets.[2] It also developed the Wapiti Thermal Coal mine near Tumbler Ridge.[3] In addition, Hillsborough owned and operated the Middle Point Barge Loading Facility located on Vancouver Island, Canada.[4]

The company's Crossville mine had discontinued operation by 2007,[2] and the company closed the Quinsam mine in 2016 due to economic pressure, firing 66 people in the process.[1]

It emerged out of bankruptcy protection in 2000 to fend off a takeover bid offering in 2000 $0.18 per share, by Vulcan Capital Management.[5] However, effective December 21, 2009, Vitol Anker International B.V. of the Vitol Group acquired Hillsborough Resources Limited for $0.50 per share, inheriting all its debt.[6]
