OSTI ID:6398009
The Colorado Mining Association's Declaration of Policy reflects its appreciation of the economic and defense significance of basic and strategic minerals as well as its frustrations over environmental regulations, taxes, and manpower shortages. It proposes a cabinet-level position to update and implement national mineral policies that make exploration funding available to small miners. The policy statement recommends regulatory reform, resource conservation and recycling, and the restriction of stockpiling to materials of foreign source. The statement is divided into eight major areas: public lands, land-use planning, energy sources, water rights and policies, taxation, gold and silver, mining safety and health, and environmental quality. 1 figure.
