Nevada Mining 2023 - Digital Interactive

January 30, 2023

All signals point towards Nevada retaining its throne as the leading mining jurisdiction in the US in the coming years. The legacy of the Carlin gold trend, coupled with the prolific Walker Lane and Battle Mountain trends notably, has maintained the “Silver State” its position as the leading producer of gold in the country, accounting for 77% of total domestic production in 2021. 

With gold remaining a timeless hedge against inflation, 2022 was a year of opportunity, consolidation, and strengthening for the state’s majors. And with the increased political determination to transition towards an economy less reliant on fossil fuels, Nevada’s endowment in “future-facing commodities” like lithium also suggests a bright future for the state’s mining industry.

It is said that mining is a patient industry. Current demand projections are not. Demand for minerals deemed ‘critical’ is set to increase almost fourfold by 2030, according to the UN. Demand for nickel, cobalt and lithium is predicted to double, triple and rise ten-fold, respectively, between 2022 and 2050. The world will need to mine more copper between 2018 and 2050 than it has mined throughout history. 2050 is also the deadline to curb emissions before reaching a point of ‘no return.’ The pace of mineral demand and the consequences of not meeting it force the industry to act fast and take more risks. Mining cannot afford to be a patient industry anymore. The scramble for supply drives miners back to geological credentials, and therefore to places like the African Central Copperbelt.
