Join me on Wednesday, January 23, for the inaugural live episode of the online streaming video magazine Arizona Mining Review.Arizona is regularly the number 1 or 2 producer of non-fuel (i.e., other than coal) minerals in the US, and mining historically was one of the largest component of the Arizona economy. Today, Arizona provides nearly two-thirds of all the copper used in the country.
As part of the 125th anniversary of AZGS, we are launching something new to help us better carry out our statutory duties to
- Serve as a primary source of geologic information in this state to enhance public understanding of the state's geologic character, geologic hazards and limitations and mining and mineral resources.
- Inform, advise and assist the public in matters concerning the geological processes, materials and landscapes and the development and use of the mineral resources of this state.
