Partnering with us is a good thing.
Western Spirit Foundation, host and founder of Eureka Gold Rush Games™, is a nonprofit organization dedicated to economic development in rural Nevada. Mining is crucial to that effort. Current proposals to alter and increase mining taxes are a direct threat to the heritage and sustainability of families and communities across Nevada. It has never been more important to celebrate and promote the historic and ongoing positive impact of the mining industry. Partnering together we will protect our heritage and future.
