Utah's potential in the manufacturing or servicing of mining equipment

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5278449
This is a study of ''Utah's Potential in the Manufacturing or Servicing of Mining Equipment'' prepared primarily for the State of Utah, Division of Industrial Development and designed to assist in attracting industry to make a further in-depth evaluation of Utah's coal resources and mining equipment potential. Utah's, as well as the Rocky Mountains', coal mining capacity is expected to increase by over 300 percent during the period 1975 to 1985. The cost of new mining equipment purchased during this 1975 to 1985 period to support such coal mining growth is estimated at $178 million for Utah and $1,290 million for the Rocky Mountain States (based on 1976 dollars). It is further estimated that Utah alone will enjoy a $22 million maintenance/parts industry annually by the year 1985 and an equal amount in labor to support this parts business.
