Stronger Together: Amplify Your Voice with AMA

AMA advocates to the public and policy makers on behalf of Alaska’s mineral industry. AMA also pro- vides a wealth of institutional knowledge to assist members in mining activities. AMA fights for our members to ensure that restric- tions on land and water use are economically real- istic and provide a balance between environmental protection and resource utilization. Through our activities in communities around Alaska, AMA works hard to increase public awareness of the mineral industry and its economic implications to the State and to the nation. A membership to AMA amplifies your voice on regulation and legislative issues, and helps fund continued outreach and education efforts by the association to Alaskans, while granting you access to industry experts who can assist you. In addition, eight local chapters of AMA meet every week or month, depending on the season, to stay up to date on key issues and provide teamwork for our fellow members.

AMA members also receive: • This quarterly Alaska Miner Magazine • Regular issues of the Alaska Miner Journal association newsletter • Annual Alaska Miners Handbook and Service Directory • Weekly Email - AMA Executive Director Update • Political representation for mining issues by the • AMA lobbyists in Juneau • Access to branch breakfasts • Opportunity to serve on a number of oversight and special interest committees • Affiliation with other trade associations interested in reasonable and responsible resource development • Promotion of legislation favorable to mineral development • AMA voting rights • Discounted registration to the Annual Convention • Special discounts on event registrations

America needs these minerals. Alaska has them. The only thing standing between identified deposits and domestic supply chains is access — and AIDEA is in the business of solving that problem. Built on the same model as the DeLong Mountain Transportation System at Red Dog Mine, both corridors will be funded by mining user fees, with benefits lasting for generations.
