I sure do hope that I don't look dumb for admitting this, but I had never heard of trona until this video... I knew of soda ash, but the name trona is new to me. I wish we could have actually seen them mining, and watched the big machines at work. Regardless though, this was incredibly interesting. Thank you for sharing this on TH-cam, Wyoming PBS!
My father ERNESTO MONTOYA , MSHA , USED TO INSPECT THAT MINE IN THE MID TO LATE 80s , he was based out of CRAIG COLORADO... I HAVE JENNER MINING STICKERS ...
Jokes on you, the mine was purchased by Ciner (turkish; pronounced jen-ner) in the last ten years. Before Ciner the mine was owned by a Korean company called OCI.
