The mines shown produced in 2023. Active mining involved extraction from open pits, underground mines, other types of surface activity, and one brine operation. If active mining at these sites had ceased temporarily or permanently, production continued from leach pads, reprocessing old tailings, or stockpiles. The main sources of information for these mines are Major Mines of Nevada 2023 (Ghiglieri and Patterson, 2024) compiled by the Nevada Division of Minerals and NBMG’s The Nevada Mineral Industry 2023 (Jowitt et al., 2024) as outlined in "Overview" (Jowitt, 2024) "Metals" (Jowitt and Fisher, 2024), and "Industrial Minerals" (Micander, 2024) chapters of the overall report. These two reports were largely compiled from annual status and production reports submitted to the Nevada Division of Minerals. The sites generally represent the main open pit or portal location and are accurate for a display scale of 1:1,000,000 or smaller.

Geothermal site locations are from the “Geothermal Energy" section (Richards and Lu, 2024) in NBMG’s The Nevada Mineral Industry 2023 and information provided by the Nevada Division of Minerals.

OIL FIELDS

Oil field locations are from Assessment of the Potential for Carbon Dioxide Sequestration with Enhanced Oil Recovery in Nevada (LaPointe et al., 2007) with updated information provided in 2023 by the Nevada Division of Minerals. Only currently producing oil fields are shown; these are discussed in detail in the "Oil and Gas" section (Reynolds and Micander, 2024) of the 2023 Mineral Industry report. Oil field symbol locations are based on initial discovery well. More detailed information on the oil fields, individual wells, company contact information, and production can be found in Assessment of the Potential for Carbon Dioxide Sequestration with Enhanced Oil Recovery in Nevada (LaPointe et al., 2007), NBMG’s The Nevada Mineral Industry 2023 (Jowitt et al., 2024), Major Mines of Nevada 2023 (Ghiglieri and Patterson, 2024), Petroleum Data Map of Nevada, 2007 (Garside and Hess, 2007), and the NBMG Subsurface Database Explorer interactive map (NBMG et al., 2020).

Nevada mining district locations are from NBMG Report 47, Mining Districts of Nevada (Tingley, 1998). The location of the symbol represents the approximate center of the mining district polygon as shown in the original report.
