Mining for Minerals 1000 Feet Underground

Follow BLM staff as they tour a lead mine in southeastern Missouri. The Doe Run mining complex consists of several mines, and federal mineral leases administered by the BLM. This is the largest hard rock royalty generator in the United States, annually contributing $10 million in revenue to American taxpayers through the U.S. Treasury. Did you know that nearly all federal minerals are within the jurisdiction of the Bureau of Land Management? The agency manages more surface land (245 million acres or 10 percent of America’s land base) and more subsurface mineral estate (700 million acres) than any other government agency in the United States. Mineral development is an important land use for communities across the country. Mining provides jobs, economic activity and important commodities that help sustain our growing nation.
