## Resource

Nevada’s betting big on mining to diversify its economy beyond gaming, leveraging its unmatched mineral wealth—including critical lithium—to build domestic processing and manufacturing. With 36 of 60 essential minerals, the state aims to cut reliance on overseas refining, especially China, by attracting companies to turn raw materials into finished goods right here. Programs like the WIND fund are training locals for high-demand mining jobs, while new lithium and boron mines promise more employment. Partnering with the Department of Energy, Nevada’s pushing for a self-sufficient, resilient economy that’s not just silver but strategically vital.
