Did you know you can mine silver and gold on public lands in Oregon and Washington? In 2025, silver was named a U.S. critical mineral, helping power your phone, build solar panels, and even purify water. And you can go searching for it yourself! We’re here to make sure mining is done responsibly, protecting public lands and ecosystems while still supporting local communities. ⛏️ Learn more and get your mining permit here: https://ow.ly/eU8P50WXc4M📸 Angel Vasquez, BLM | BLM Oregon & Washington |
