Each year Bureau geologists visit many mining properties in Montana in addition to work on their regular field projects. As it is not possible to visit in person all properties in the state during the year, information is requested from Montana mine operators and owners relating to mining activities. The responses to this canvassing and personal interviews are then compiled and published annually in our Directory of Mining Enterprises. Mining enterprises are listed systematically in categories in the main body of the Directory, either under Metal Mines or under Nonmetal Mines, Pits, and Quarries. In order, these categories are kind of ore or mineral produced; county in which the mine is situated; and the name of the mine. Additional information includes location of the property based on legal subdivisions of land survey; type of ore mined; mining district in which the property is situated; number of employees; mill capacity, if any; operator's name and address; owner's name and address; and yearly status, i.e., whether the property produced ore during the year, is still producing, developed ore without producing, or remained totally inactive. To facilitate looking up a mining enterprise, an index of mines, mine owners, and operators is included at the back of the Directory.
