Arizona is the nation's number one mining state
with the largest value of non-fuel mineral
production in the United States! The
Department of Mines and Mineral
Resources is a non-regulatory State
agency that aids in the promotion and
development of Arizona's mineral resources. The
agency accomplishes this through technical
research, field investigations, disseminating
information through publications and
personal contacts, and by maintaining the
Arizona Mining and Mineral
Museum.
