Were you aware the technologies that define innovation today all depend on minerals — from lifesaving medical devices to smart phones and advanced energy technologies?
To showcase the role minerals play in everyday life, the National Mining Association (NMA) in the U.S. recently launched an education and advocacy initiative, "Minerals Make Life."
According to Hal Quinn, president and CEO of NMA, the program was designed, in part, to shape U.S. public policy to enable the growth of domestic minerals mining. Its website, www.mineralsmakelife.org, provides easy ways for supporters to take action on important issues affecting U.S. mining.
The site also includes information about what minerals mean to America, the challenges facing our supply chain and solutions to ensure that we can provide the minerals we need for economic prosperity and national security.
