FOREWORD

It is interesting to note that the Directory of Nevada Mine Operations has been annually written or published, in one form or another, by the State of Nevada, since the year 1909.

The Directory of Nevada Mine Operations is published pursuant to Nevada Revised Statutes 512.151 and 512.241. Which authorizes the Administrator of the Division of Industrial Relations to collect information and statistics relative to mines, mining and the mineral industry of the state and to publish and make available the same for public inspection. The information contained in the Directory lists active mines operating for the period of January through December 2013, and is a result of the collection of information and statistics by the Mine Safety and Training Section of the Division of Industrial Relations, Nevada Department of Business & Industry.

The Directory identifies: 1) each county in Nevada where mining operations are located; 2) the federal or state identification number assigned to the operation; 3) the type of mining operation; 4) the number of employees at the mining operation; 5) the operation name and location, and 6) the commodities produced from the mining operation.

Nevada Gold production for 2014 is 4.9 million troy ounces and slightly lower than the 2013 production recorded. Silver production was higher at 10.99 million ounces. While the mining industry is important to the economy in Nevada, the health and safety of its' employees are of primary importance to the Mine Safety and Training Section of the Division of Industrial Relations, Nevada Department of Business and Industry. Our primary goal is to reduce the frequency and severity of on-the-job injuries, and the incidence of occupational disease.

This goal is accomplished through the provision of safety training programs. Mine Safety courses provided, include, but are not limited to: New Inexperienced Miner Training Surface and Underground, which includes First Aid, CPR and Cyanide Safety; Annual Refresher Training; and Instructor Training. These training programs are free of charge and are conducted on a scheduled basis throughout the State by the Mine Safety and Training Section. For a complete list of safety training courses available go to:

In addition consultation and technical assistance is provided to mining operators by written request. Examples of technical assistance provided are: electrical ground resistance testing; analysis for dust and metal vapor samples; routine periodic inspections of compressed air receivers and pressure vessels; review of procedures; assistance in developing safety and health programs; and other information and expertise regarding specific mining problems.

In Calendar year 2014, the Mine Safety and Training Section of the Division of Industrial Relations conducted 438 mine safety inspections, provided 3789 technical assistance/consultations, and conducted 86 training classes where 2304 mining employees were trained.
