The National Mining Association (NMA) is the primary U.S. trade association representing producers of coal, metals and industrial minerals, along with equipment and service providers; it advocates for policies that support domestic mineral production, supply chain security, jobs and safe, environmentally responsible mining practices.
Advocates for permitting and regulatory reform, access to federal lands and mineral resources, favorable tax and trade policies for mining, workforce development and safety standards, energy and critical minerals policy to support domestic supply chains, and reduced regulatory burdens on exploration and production.
Primarily funded by membership dues and fees from mining companies, equipment and service suppliers, corporate sponsorships and industry events.
Prominent affiliated members and partners typically include large U.S. and international mining companies and suppliers such as Peabody Energy, Freeport-McMoRan, Arch Resources and major mining equipment and service firms, as well as allied industry coalitions and state mining associations.
