MMSA believes the prosperity of our world is linked to a resilient industrial base.  The global challenges ahead will require bold action underpinned by a holistic materials and energy strategy that runs the gamut from mining to recycling to a balanced energy mix.  Minerals are critical to bringing about technological transformations today that will allow us to leave a positive legacy for future generations.  A well-trained, safe and healthy workforce, proficient technical professionals, competent industry leadership, transparent communication and interaction between all stakeholders and sound legislative policies are integral to the responsible production of minerals. 

MMSA’s objectives are based on five foundational precepts:

• Responsible Mineral Resource Development
• Protection of Investors and Workers
