Description

Miners have extracted billions of dollars worth of gold, silver, copper, and other hardrock (locatable) minerals from fed. lands without having to pay a royalty. The vast majority of the fed. lands where hardrock mining operations (HMO) occur are in 12 western states, including Alaska. These western states have statutes governing HMO on lands in their state. These states charge royalties that allow them to share in the proceeds from hardrock minerals extracted from state-owned lands. This report provides info. on: (1) which types of royalties the 12 western states assess on HMO; and (2) trends on imports and exports of hardrock minerals. It also provides data on HMO on fed. lands that the fed. gov’t. either does not routinely collect or consistently maintain. Ill.
