Northern Nevada Sustainable Development in Mining Act

H.R. 3419, the Northern Nevada Sustainable Development in Mining Act, would direct the Secretary of the Interior to sell specific federal lands in Pershing County, Nevada, to a private mining company, Coeur Rochester, Inc. Under this legislation, the company would pay $500 per acre for land where it already maintains mining claims, and the sale would be exempt from standard reviews or approvals required by other federal laws. For citizens, this bill would transition public land into private ownership to facilitate mining operations, with the resulting sale proceeds distributed according to federal guidelines.
