Mining operationsMost U.S. citizens are not directly involved in the mining industry. However, mining plays a vital role in our national economy, national security, and in our everyday life. More than 320,000 people work directly in the U.S. mining industry. Mines process nearly 47,000 pounds of materials for each person in the U.S. to maintain his/her standard of living. Processed materials of mineral origin account for nearly five percent of U.S. gross domestic product. The U.S. enjoys some of the lowest electricity costs in the world due to the availability of low-cost coal. Mined materials, coal and uranium, were used to generate 72% of all electric power produced in the U.S. during 2000. Mine security is a critical component to our national security.
