A good industry is committed to providing high-quality careers, generating tax revenue, and engaging in community partnerships that improve the lives of local citizens. Nevada mine operators are proud to do all three. In addition to paying county, state, and federal taxes, companies contribute millions of dollars to nonprofits, scholarships, and local causes while also volunteering their services for several community causes.

During the initial stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, Nevada mine operators stepped up to support communities throughout the Silver State. The industry implemented protocols to keep employees safe on the job, while also securing PPE for first responders and making the largest financial contribution to Nevada’s COVID-19 Task Force. Mine operators also created new programs like the I-80 fund, providing small businesses in rural Nevada with low-interest loans to keep their doors open and staff employed.
