Mining community
I am interested to see who in this community works in mining. I put together this simple poll and discussion.

But I do visit one now and then. Well maybe not a mine… more of a pit.
I have about 5 customers who fall under MSHA regs and we have to visit their mines when we work with them (both above- and belowground), but my business itself doesn't work primarily in mining.
I miss the surface stuff sometimes.
I spent 10 years working for two Coal companies here in the Powder River Basin (Gillette, WY).
I first worked for Peabody Energy (8 years) and then Alpha Natural Resources/Alpha Coal West (2 years). I don't miss the politics but I miss some of the people and the massive pieces of equipment.
I do not, but I did. Surface, underground, quarry, and water treatment. One of the best industries and I’ll always be thankful for coal and the folks that make it happen.
