The NWMA Bulletin . Recognized as the hardrock mining industry's best newsletter, the Bulletin keeps you informed on a multitude of issues and provides important insights and opinions. The best, most comprehensive and member-friendly Service Directory in the industry. Adopted a Statement of Environmental Principles in October 1998 to help our industry communicate the modern mining industry's commitment to environmental responsibility to the public and the media. Willing to fight to ensure that regulatory actions are legal, justified, and as cost-effective as possible, as demonstrated by our successful lawsuit against Interior Secretary Bruce Babbitt and the BLM invalidating illegal bonding regulations, and our successful lawsuit invalidating Montana's ban on corporate spending on ballot initiatives.
