Which mines and quarries operate in a market, and who runs them?

Which mines and quarries operate in a market, and who runs them? Search the MSHA Mines data set — every coal and metal/non-metal mine under MSHA jurisdiction (NAICS-21 operators that are OSHA-exempt and invisible elsewhere) — by operator, mine name, state, county, commodity, canvass, coal_metal, mine type, status, active-only, or status date (since). Returns the mine, its operator (entity-resolved) and controller, commodity, employees, and status. MSHA public-domain records.
