Northwest Mining Association Gets a New Name

After 119 years, the Northwest Mining Association has chosen a new name to better reflect the fact that it now boasts 2,400 members from 42 states, seven Canadian provinces, and ten other countries.

Following an 18 month review and input from its members, the association has changed its name to American Exploration and Mining Association.  The organization plans to continue its mission of educating the public and policymakers about the importance of the mineral industry.

The new web address is www.miningamerica.org and this change, together with the new name, is now reflected in the right-hand sidebar section titled Clubs and Organizations.
