This book was released on 2008-03-11 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Minerals are part of virtually every product we use. Common examples include copper used in electrical wiring and titanium used to make airplane frames and paint pigments. The Information Age has ushered in a number of new mineral uses in a number of products including cell phones (e.g., tantalum) and liquid crystal displays (e.g., indium). For some minerals, such as the platinum group metals used to make cataytic converters in cars, there is no substitute. If the supply of any given mineral were to become restricted, consumers and sectors of the U.S. economy could be significantly affected. Risks to minerals supplies can include a sudden increase in demand or the possibility that natural ores can be exhausted or become too difficult to extract. Minerals are more vulnerable to supply restrictions if they come from a limited number of mines, mining companies, or nations. Baseline information on minerals is currently collected at the federal level, but no established methodology has existed to identify potentially critical minerals. This book develops such a methodology and suggests an enhanced federal initiative to collect and analyze the additional data needed to support this type of tool.

This book was released on 2002-03-14 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Office of Industrial Technologies (OIT) of the U. S. Department of Energy commissioned the National Research Council (NRC) to undertake a study on required technologies for the Mining Industries of the Future Program to complement information provided to the program by the National Mining Association. Subsequently, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health also became a sponsor of this study, and the Statement of Task was expanded to include health and safety. The overall objectives of this study are: (a) to review available information on the U.S. mining industry; (b) to identify critical research and development needs related to the exploration, mining, and processing of coal, minerals, and metals; and (c) to examine the federal contribution to research and development in mining processes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Federal policy toward hardrock mining remains largely unchanged since the passage of the General Mining Law of 1872. That legislation was originally intended to promote settlement and economic development of the American West. A century and a quarter later, the region no longer requires congressional coddling, yet more than half a million mines and mill sites remain abandoned throughout the western states. These sites have created 180,000 acres of polluted lakes and reservoirs and 12,000 miles of contaminated streams and rivers. Montana?s Blackfoot River, made famous by Norman Maclean?s A River Runs through It, is one such battered body of water. Not only did the 1872 law essentially give the land and minerals to miners and mining companies?and it continues to do so today?the law also required no mine reclamation or water quality protection. State mining laws likewise required little or no reclamation. Wounding the West traces the role of hardrock mining and its relationship with the American West by following the environmental history of one Montana mine, the Mike Horse, from its 1898 discovery, through its heyday in the 1940s, subsequent abandonment, and eventual cleanup under the coercion of a state law that many would consider ill-suited for abandoned mines. David Stiller argues that taxpayers should treat mining companies like the for-profit enterprises they are and insist that the hardrock mining industry pay a fair royalty for extracted minerals and then put this funding to work correcting the industry?s worst historical abuses.

This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today’s mineral industries, state regulators, and policymakers depend upon public trust to operate effectively under the existing laws, regulations, and societal norms, where the concepts of sustainable development, corporate social responsibility, and beyond compliance have merged into environmental, social, and governance (ESG). State economic performance is impacted by state mineral policies, which are influenced by the reputations of mineral producers and regulatory agencies. A survey of mineral stakeholders conducted during the 2020 election cycle in Montana, North Dakota, and Wyoming measures perceptions regarding the top industry issues, favorability toward minerals, industry direction, and reputations from the viewpoints of citizens, mineral producers, regulators, and legislators. The respondents provide insight into how the producing, policymaking, and regulatory segments of the mineral industry are perceived, including self-assessments of the respondent’s respective segments.The future of coal facilities, economic development, public education, and environmental protection emerged as the most important issues facing the three states. Mineral activities are perceived favorably by most demographic groups across the study region, with conservatives, men, older age groups, high-income households, and those without a college degree tending to be more favorable. The economic impact of mineral production provided the most favorable scores while regulatory approach and oversight received the least favorable ratings.The producing segments received the highest reputation scores primarily driven by their economic impact. North Dakota and Wyoming view their regulatory segments more favorably than their legislatures, but Montanans perceive them in the opposite order. Not surprisingly the coal segment is believed to be heading in the wrong direction but has a good reputation. Respondents perceive the oil & gas and non-fuel segments favorably and as heading the right way. Theoretical models taken from the literature relating various metrics to overall reputations did not compare well with the direct responses, with a simple arithmetic average of all the metrics performing the best. Adaptations of these models narrowed the gap but still only provided a 0.75 to 0.76 correlation coefficient compared to 0.78 for the simple average.Montana’s economic performance as measured by GDP per capita and per job continues to lag both North Dakota and Wyoming. Each state’s mineral industry produces significantly higher GDP and personal income per job than the average and both North Dakota and Wyoming have a significantly higher level of overall mineral activity than Montana. Montana does seem to be suffering a mineral curse hangover as both North Dakota and Wyoming are performing better on overall prosperity measures as well as traditional economic measures. Although all three states are facing similar issues for their mineral industries, stakeholders in North Dakota and Wyoming have significantly more favorable views of mineral activities, are more positive about the direction the mineral industry is heading, and generally hold the industry segment in higher regard. A broad public understanding of how a responsible mineral industry advances prosperity is clearly needed. All stakeholders would benefit from effective collaboration to create a sustainable role for the industry while building the public’s trust in its institutions.
