The Nevada Mining Association is comprised of operating
mining companies, exploration companies, suppliers of industry equipment, goods
and services, counselors and consultants, and individuals interested in the
well-being of the industry.
The effectiveness of the Association depends upon its staff
and a system of internal committees addressing the areas of taxation, the
environment, supplier relations, government relations, health, safety,
education and human resources. The
Association represents its members before the Nevada Legislature; federal,
state and local regulatory agencies, other interest groups and assists its
members in matters before the U.S.
Congress.. Through its committees, the
Association coordinates the development of comments on regulations, technology,
and research enabling the industry to assume a proactive posture on solutions
and programs that provide positive benefits to the industry, citizens of Nevada, government and
the nation. The committees also help
maintain a working coalition with other groups to preserve the multiple use
concept, and work to maintain access to public lands. The Association also has an annual convention
designed to inform its members of committee activities and state legislative
issues pertaining to the mining industry.
