Core Value
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT & RELATIONSHIPS
The Arizona Mining Association fosters open communication and encourages engagement with our communities. We educate and strengthen the bond between the mining industry and the people of Arizona, recognizing that mining is crucial to supply chains and that the minerals we mine are key components that make modern life possible.
Members of the Arizona Mining Association recognize that a thriving community means investing in the well-being of those who live there. Whether it’s through educational initiatives, environmental stewardship, or support for local businesses, mining companies are dedicated to making a positive impact in the communities where they operate.
Join a Committee
Company membership benefits extend to its employees. We encourage employees to join Arizona Mining Association committees relevant to their position to stay abreast of the current issues, help further the mining industry’s initiatives, and strengthen their professional network.

AMA Supplier Committee Promotes Emergency Training to Arizona Schools
The Arizona Mining Association’s Vice Chairman Jeff Fericks of Milex Technologies coordinated the training of a dozen representatives from Arizona school districts to receive emergency training from MobilizeNow.
The training focused on immediate response treatment to stop blood loss, tourniquet dressing, and CPR. The event was funded through the support of the AMA Supplier’s committee and AMA mining member Resolution Copper. Each school represented at the training will receive a MobilizeNow unit containing emergency response medical supplies and devices and mobile app continued training.
