National Mining Association

National Mining Association (NMA) is a Washington, D.C. based trade organization that represents the voice of U.S. mining industry. Since 1995, it has been advocating for favorable public policies before Congress, federal agencies, judiciary, and media to fully and responsibly utilize America's natural resources.

America’s mining industry plays a crucial role in supplying essential materials for various sectors of the economy, including technology, healthcare, energy, transportation, infrastructure, and national security. NMA ensures secure and reliable supply chains, abundant and affordable energy, and American-sourced materials, all delivered under world-leading environmental, safety, and labor standards.

NMA's membership of more than 250 companies and organizations encompasses every aspect of mining, from producers and equipment makers to service providers. The association effectively represents the interests of the hundreds of thousands of American workers employed in the mining industry.
