Wyoming soda ash exports rise

Posted 9/5/12

LARAMIE— Exports of Wyoming soda ash were up the first half of this year.

Marion Loomis is executive director of the Wyoming Mining Association. He says about half of Wyoming soda ash production is going to Mexico, Canada and Asian and South American countries. Typically only about one-third of Wyoming’s production is exported.

Loomis tells Wyoming Public Radio that the suffering US economy explains the lower domestic demand for soda ash, which is used to make glass, detergents and home building products.
