Concluding Remarks - Nevada Mining 2022

Concluding Remarks

“Nevada has seen the creation of a very healthy partnership between the government, the mining industry and the citizens, to ensure safe and environmentally friendly mine operations. While the fuel for this is the precious metals industry, rare earths are emerging and there is also a very active and dynamic industry for sand and gravel, industrial minerals, limestone and cements. The state, which is extremely rich in terms of geologic diversity, still has numerous areas that have yet to be explored and properly catalogued.”

Scott G. Britton, Manager – US, Mining Plus

“Gold is a primary commodity in Nevada, and it is still desired as a hedge against inflation. However, I see the future of the mining industry in the green energy minerals. The International Energy Agency’s Net Zero by 2050 report recently estimated a sevenfold increase by 2030 for critical minerals such as copper, cobalt, manganese, and rare earth elements. In addition, President Biden wants half of all vehicles sold in America to be fully electric by 2030. S&P expects automakers to invest approximately US$500 billion by 2030 in green energy minerals and estimates a global revenue of US$1.9 trillion in the next five years. These levels of financial investment will encourage finding more mineral resources.”

Jeff Parshley, Corporate Consultant, SRK Consulting

“Mining has been an integral part of Nevada’s past and it will undoubtedly be an important part of Nevada’s future. Nevada possesses world-class mineral deposits, and Federal and state agencies will continue to work collaboratively to produce regulatory frameworks and working relationships that are well-defined, and the lead the way in terms of balancing extractive industries with environmental responsibility and sustainability.”
