(Reno, Nev.) Oct. 11, 2023 – The Nevada Mining Association (NVMA) is pleased to announce that Amanda Hilton has been named as President.

A fourth-generation Nevadan raised in Reno and Ely, Hilton has been the General Manager for the Robinson Mine, one of Nevada’s largest and oldest operating mines, for the past six years. She was a member of the NVMA Board of Directors during that time and served as Chair in 2021-2022. Before her appointment as General Manager, she filled various roles at the Robinson Mine in Ely where she has worked since 2004.

“Many excellent candidates were considered for this position,” explained Greg Gibson of SSR Mining and Acting Chair of the NVMA Board of Directors. “Amanda’s deep knowledge of the industry and of this State positioned her as the clear front-runner. The Association will be served well by her leadership experience.”

Hilton earned her B.S. in Accounting from the University of Utah and her M.B.A. from the University of Wisconsin. She is also a Certified Public Accountant. During the past year, she was featured in the “Pioneering the Field: Women in Mining” exhibit at the National Mining Hall of Fame and Museum in Leadville, Colorado.

“As a two-decade miner myself, I am very proud of Nevada’s modern mining industry and its responsible production of the metals and minerals required to advance a clean energy economy,” said Hilton. “It’s an exciting time to be in mining, and I look forward to working with NVMA’s diverse membership to advance this industry that is so critical to Nevada’s future.”

After the departure of Tyre Gray in February 2023, former NVMA President Dana Bennett filled in as Interim President. “I’m thrilled with Amanda’s appointment,” said Bennett. “She is a consensus builder and an innovative thinker. The Association will thrive under her excellent leadership.”

Hilton will become the 13^th leader of this venerable trade association, which was founded in 1913 in Tonopah.
