Promoting and Protecting Mining in the Gem State
The Idaho Mining Association (IMA) was set up in 1903 to support the interests of the state’s mining and mineral production industry. The IMA is actively involved on environmental, land reclamation, water quality, transportation and tax issues. We also conduct an active education program with teacher training programs for K-12 teachers and are active in a variety of community involvement activites. Today, the association has more than 50 members who work to keep mining a strong and responsible industry throughout Idaho.
