CMA advocates at every level of government and maintains strong relationships with policymakers at the state, local, and federal levels. We regularly work with the Colorado General Assembly, the Governor’s Office, Colorado’s Congressional Delegation, county and local governments, and regulatory officials with a broad range of state and federal agencies to advance positive public policy outcomes for the mining industry.
Regulatory Support You Can Rely On
Our Role: CMA actively engages agencies on workable, science-based rules and offers hands-on support for company-specific permit and compliance challenges.
Advocacy with Impact
CMA’s advocacy has shaped policies on permitting, reclamation, energy development, environmental compliance, and a host of other areas that directly impact the mining industry. These efforts have saved significant resources for our member companies and opened new doors for sustainable mining operations.
Legal Backbone When You Need It
In today’s complex political and regulatory environment, mining companies face heightened scrutiny and operational challenges. CMA equips members with expert legal guidance and strategic advocacy that protects business interests while preserving constructive relationships with regulators and policymakers.
Our legal team has secured impactful wins in both state and federal courts, including precedent-setting decisions that continue to strengthen and safeguard the industry.
The Voice of Mining in Colorado
CMA regularly engages with traditional media in print, online, and broadcast formats, as well as through social media channels. We work to represent industry views, support member operations, and ensure that mining remains a key voice in conversations about the future of our economy. We also provide support to our members for use in their own media engagement and social media advocacy.
Our members benefit from a powerful collective voice that influences legislation, shapes regulations, and safeguards industry interests.
