The CMA represents the producers of coal, metals and other minerals as well as equipment manufacturers and service firms from Colorado and throughout the West.
The chairman-elect selected to succeed Beverage in 2009 is Climax Molybdenum general manager James Arnold. He currently serves as the GM for the Henderson mine, the world’s largest primary molybdenum producer.
