  • La compagnie minière de Carmaux fut l'une des premières compagnies minières créées en France pour l'extraction du charbon, en 1752, sur le bassin minier de Carmaux et Blaye-les-Mines (Tarn), où elle obtenait, le 12 septembre 1752, par un édit royal la permission, non exclusive, d’exploiter les mines pendant vingt ans. Précédemment, le bassin houiller, connu depuis le XIIIe siècle, était très mal exploité par des charbonniers mal organisés au nom de propriétaires sans grande ambition minière. (fr)
