Seasoned underground face miner Ricky Montoya joins Mining Minds, at the Face, to talk about mining! Ricky talks about starting out as a lubber on the surface before finding his home in underground mining. He walks us through his early days, learning from “old school” miners, moving from a maintenance function to an operation function, because of a bonus, and working to change some old perceptions of himself. Ricky provides his insight into the next generation of miners and, as an industry, working to adapt to them and their needs. We discuss being open to challenging old industry habits, being proud of the work produced, and questioning our individual standards for what is good versus what is good enough. Join Mining Minds as we Welcome Ricky Montoya to the Face!
