For more information about geology, historic and current mining areas, gold and silver and other metals, see GeoNote 40, as well as earlier GeoNotes and the Pamphlet Series of the Idaho Bureau of Mines and Geology, available through the Survey's Moscow office. Mine histories of many properties are also available in the Staff Report publications.

After the Survey canvasses current mining activity each year, the results are presented at the December convention of the American Exploration and Mining Association (formerly Northwest Mining Association). Written summaries are compiled and provided to the United States Geological Survey Minerals Information Office for publication with their annual Minerals Yearbook chapters for Idaho. Annual Idaho annual mining review drafts are prepared by the Idaho Geological Survey that contain information about exploration, remediation efforts, legislation, production, and other activities for the year concerning the mining industry in Idaho. Some drafts are published as Staff Reports, and some have been printed as Mining Engineering articles. Many annual mining review manuscripts remain unpublished, and may be incomplete (lacking table of contents, index, etc.). None of the visual presentations have been published.

The Survey is currently in the process of releasing unpublished annual mining review materials to the public. As these are prepared, they will be made available through the links below. Contact Christopher Tate in the Moscow office (208-885-7540, ctate@uidaho.edu) to inquire about annual mining review material not yet available for download, or any questions or problems locating specific information.

For more details about mining, exploration, prospecting, and mineral resources, contact Dr. Virginia Gillerman in the Boise Branch Office of the Survey (208-332-4420, vgillerm@uidaho.edu).

Note: The Survey is not a regulatory agency. Environmental permitting and monitoring is handled by the federal land management agencies, Idaho Department of Lands, and other state and federal agencies.
