4 A brief history of early mineral exploitation in the Uinta Basin1964Uinta Basin; Mining; Uintah Valley; Indian Reservation; Meeker; Utah; History of early mineral exploitation; Uintah Reservation; Gilsonite; Coal; Copper; Iron; Oil shale; Ozocerite; Wurtzilite; Oil; Asphalt; Ashley Creek; Hatchtown; Vernal; Fort Duchesne; Ouray SubagencyEarly mining activities in the Uinta Basin can be summarized by saying that they included mining for gilsonite, coal, copper, iron, oil shale, ozocerite, wurtzilite, and oil and asphalt (under the placer mining laws). Of these minerals only coal and gilsonite were produced in commercially significan...
5 Is tar sand development part of our future?1995-04tar sand development; tar sand; oil productionWhat a difference a decade makes. It has been almost 10 years since the last of several attempts to produce oil from the tar sands at Asphalt Ridge near Vernal, Utah. The only activity since that time has been mining the tar sand for road repair and paving material. The problem is not availability, ...
