For more than 150 years, Nevada mining has produced minerals that are key to an innovative and advanced society.

Today, more than 20 minerals are mined in the Silver State. These minerals are found in thousands of items we use every day. Electronic devices, methods of transportation, and the buildings we live and work in are just a few examples of how mining benefits our lives. As new technologies continue to change the world, Nevada’s original STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) industry will provide the minerals needed to help shape our future.
