Since its establishment in 1913, the Nevada Mining Association has provided members of the public with accurate, up-to-date news and information about the state’s mining industry. The methods for delivering these facts and figures have changed significantly over the past century, but just as the mining industry has evolved and adapted since the discovery of the Comstock Lode, the NvMA has too.

With that in mind, we’re proud to show off the NvMA’s new, redesigned website. We’ve packed in more information about Nevada’s original STEM industry than ever, while making it easier to navigate and find the information you’re looking for.

Here are five highlights we recommend checking out:

1. Minerals in Nevada:
   Nevada produces more than 20 minerals that are critical to our daily lives. Without Nevada mining, thousands of things we use every day like our favorite electronics, transportation methods, even the homes we live in, simply wouldn’t exist. Our “Minerals in Nevada” page provides a run down of minerals found in the Silver State, and what they are used for.

2. Our Commitment:
   Modern mining is committed to safe and environmentally conscious production, while also serving as responsible members of the communities we operate in. What does mining in the 21^st century looks like and how does it benefit Nevada? Visit “Our Commitment” page to find out.

3. Careers In Mining:
   Mining is responsible for nearly 30,000 Nevada jobs, with an average salary of $93,444.
