History

The National Mining Association was created in 1995. The organization was formed through the merger of the National Coal Association (NCA) and the American Mining Congress (AMC). These two organizations had represented the mining industry since 1897 (AMC) and 1917 (NCA).[1]

Mission and objectives

The NMA’s mission is to build support for public policies that will help Americans fully and responsibly benefit from our abundant natural resources. Its objective is to engage in and influence the public process on the most significant and timely issues that impact mining’s ability to safely and sustainably locate, permit, mine, transport and utilize the nation’s vast resources.

The NMA serves its membership by:
• Promoting the safe production and use of mineral and coal resources
• Establishing a strong political presence in the nation’s capital
• Serving as the information center for and a single voice of U.S. mining
• Addressing the current and future policy needs of U.S. mining, mining equipment manufacturers and support services members of the NMA
