element.nevadagoldmines.com is an internal employee and vendor portal operated by Nevada Gold Mines — the Barrick Gold / Newmont joint venture that runs the Carlin Trend, Cortez, Turquoise Ridge, and Phoenix operations. It is not a public information site: the “Element” system behind it handles workforce scheduling, procurement, and site-access functions for people already affiliated with the joint venture, and the login screen at element.nevadagoldmines.com/login exists for that internal audience, not for job seekers or the general public. Below, we cover what the domain is, what to do if you’re trying to log in or find the right contact, and — because most people who land here actually want the production numbers — what Nevada’s gold output looks like using USGS data, with a durable checklist for verifying it yourself as new reports come out.

What Is element.nevadagoldmines.com?

Nevada Gold Mines (NGM) is the joint venture formed by Barrick Gold (61.5%) and Newmont (38.5%) that consolidated the two companies’ adjoining Nevada operations — including the Carlin Trend, Cortez, Turquoise Ridge, and Phoenix/Long Canyon districts — into a single managed operator. “Element” is the name of the workforce and operations platform NGM uses internally, and element.nevadagoldmines.com (sometimes searched as “element nevada gold mines” or misspelled “element.nevada gold mines.com”) is its web front end.

Three things this domain is not: it is not a corporate marketing site for Nevada Gold Mines (that content lives on barrick.com and newmont.com), it is not a public database of Nevada mining claims or production, and it is not a job-application portal in the way a careers page would be — hiring at NGM runs through Barrick’s and Newmont’s own careers sites, with Element used afterward for scheduling and site logistics once someone is onboarded.

• ✔ What it is: an internal employee/contractor operations portal for NGM’s Nevada sites.
• ✔ Who uses it: NGM employees, on-site contractors, and approved vendors with issued credentials.
• ⚠ What it is not: a public production database, a general careers portal, or an investor relations page.
• 📊 Context: NGM’s combined Nevada operations sit inside a state that produced 3,479,748 troy oz of gold in 2024, per USGS Mineral Commodity Summaries 2025.

Login and Access: Who Can Use It

If you’ve been directed to element.nevadagoldmines.com/login by an employer, recruiter, or vendor coordinator, the credentials come from NGM’s IT or HR onboarding team — not from a self-service signup on the site. There is no public registration flow, and Farmonaut has no role in issuing or resetting these credentials; we’re a satellite data company that works with mining and agriculture clients, unrelated to NGM’s internal systems.

If You’re Not Looking for the Portal

Search data on this exact set of queries shows most people typing “element nevada gold mines” or its domain variants land on portal-adjacent confusion — some are searching for the login page, others are really trying to research Nevada’s gold industry, gold mine investment opportunities, or how the name “Nevada Gold Mines” relates to Barrick and Newmont. If that’s you, the rest of this page is built for that — real USGS production figures, how Nevada compares to the rest of the US, and what’s driving exploration technology and mine-for-sale activity in the state.

Nevada Gold Production: The Numbers Behind the Name

Nevada produced 3,479,748 troy oz of gold in 2024, down from 4,030,556 troy oz in 2023 — a year-over-year decline of about 13.7% — according to the USGS Mineral Commodity Summaries 2025 (pubs.usgs.gov/periodicals/mcs2025/mcs2025-gold.pdf). That drop reflects the kind of ore-grade and mine-sequencing shifts that show up periodically across large, mature districts like the Carlin Trend, where NGM operates most of its Nevada production.

At the national level, total US domestic gold mine production was about 160 tons in 2024, valued at $12 billion, per USGS Mineral Commodity Summaries 2025. The same report estimates 2025 domestic production value at roughly $17 billion — a projection built on higher assumed prices rather than higher assumed tonnage, since USGS does not publish a 2025 tonnage estimate in that release. The US holds an estimated 3,000 metric tons of identified gold reserves and roughly 33,000 tons of combined identified-plus-undiscovered resources, according to USGS Mineral Commodity Summaries 2024 (pubs.usgs.gov/periodicals/mcs2024/mcs2024-gold.pdf).

Spot gold priced at $4,364.96 per troy ounce as of August 14, 2026, per JM Bullion’s live gold price chart (jmbullion.com/charts/gold-price). That single data point moves by the hour — gold trades continuously across global markets — so treat it as a snapshot, not a planning figure. For a current read, or for a 2023–2025 historical monthly average (which USGS does not publish and which we did not find in a citable public source for this piece), check JM Bullion’s chart directly, or cross-reference KITCO and Bullion Vault, both of which maintain historical daily series.

Nevada’s Share of US Gold Production

Nevada accounted for 70% of US gold production in 2024, per USGS Mineral Commodity Summaries 2025 — meaning roughly seven of every ten troy ounces mined domestically that year came out of Nevada. That concentration is why “element nevada gold mines” and its domain variants get search volume at all: Nevada isn’t just a large gold-producing state, it’s functionally the backbone of the entire US gold sector, and NGM’s Carlin Trend and Cortez complexes are the single largest contributors within it.

The US operates more than 40 lode gold mines across 12 states as of the 2025 USGS summary, so Nevada’s 70% share is concentrated in a relative handful of large operations rather than spread evenly. That’s consistent with how NGM itself is structured — a small number of very large, long-life complexes (Carlin, Cortez, Turquoise Ridge, Phoenix) rather than many small mines.

Where Are Gold Mines in the US?

Beyond Nevada, USGS’s 2025 summary counts lode gold mines operating across 12 states — Nevada leads by a wide margin, with Alaska, California, Colorado, South Dakota, Montana, Arizona, and a scattering of others making up most of the remaining 30% of national output. If you’re mapping “where are gold mines in the US” at a state level, Nevada plus Alaska together account for the large majority of production, with the rest split across smaller operations in the Rocky Mountain states, the Southwest, and a few legacy districts in the Southeast.

Since this table draws on a single-year USGS snapshot, the state-by-state breakdown below Nevada is not itemized in the sources we cite here — for a full state ranking, the USGS gold commodity summary (published annually, typically in Q1) lists domestic mine production by state in its detailed tables.

Modernization and Exploration Technology

Nevada’s largest operators, NGM included, have pushed hard toward automation, digital ore-body modeling, and remote sensing over the past several years — a shift driven by a straightforward economic reality: as easily accessible high-grade ore is depleted, finding and proving new resources cheaply becomes the difference between a mine extending its life and one heading toward closure.

• 🛰️ Satellite-driven geospatial analysis for regional-scale target screening before drilling
• 🖥️ AI-assisted geophysical survey interpretation to speed up ore-body delineation
• 🔬 Hyperspectral and multispectral imagery for alteration-zone mapping
• 🚜 Automation and robotics in underground and open-pit extraction
• 💧 Water recycling and closed-loop processing to reduce freshwater draw

Satellite-based exploration tools, including Farmonaut’s satellite-based mineral detection platform, are built to screen large areas for geological alteration signatures before any ground disturbance occurs — relevant both to operators extending existing districts like the Carlin Trend and to explorers evaluating new claims elsewhere in the Great Basin. For a closer look at how satellite-driven prospectivity mapping is applied to a specific district, see our companion piece on Nevada Gold Mines innovation and growth.

Nevada Gold Mines for Sale

Separately from NGM’s own operations, Nevada continues to see turnover in mid-tier and junior mining assets as larger operators periodically divest properties that don’t fit their scale, and smaller companies acquire proven ground with existing permits and infrastructure. For a detailed look at current listings and what due diligence should cover before buying a Nevada claim or producing mine, see Nevada Gold Mines for Sale: Top 7 Opportunities.

Buying an operating or past-producing asset typically means inheriting existing geological data, permits, and infrastructure — which cuts development timelines compared to a greenfield claim — but it also means inheriting whatever ore-grade decline, water-rights complexity, or reclamation liability came with the property. A pre-purchase satellite prospectivity screen can flag structural and alteration signatures worth verifying against the seller’s own geological data before closing; get a quote here for that kind of independent read.

Calculator: Estimate a Nevada Mine’s Gold Revenue

Enter a production figure and the current spot price to estimate annual gold revenue and a state net proceeds of minerals tax estimate at Nevada’s top marginal rate.

Assumptions: this is a gross-revenue estimate only — it does not deduct mining, processing, refining, transport, or reclamation costs, none of which are netted out here. Nevada’s actual Net Proceeds of Minerals tax is calculated on net proceeds (revenue minus allowable deductions), not gross revenue, and its rate is set annually by statute — the 5.5% default here is illustrative, not a current legal rate; confirm the applicable rate and deduction rules with the Nevada Department of Taxation before using this for any filing or investment decision. Default values reflect Nevada’s 2024 gold production (USGS Mineral Commodity Summaries 2025) and the August 14, 2026 JM Bullion spot price.

How to Verify These Numbers Yourself

Every figure above will move — gold’s spot price changes by the minute, and USGS re-publishes its Mineral Commodity Summaries annually, typically in Q1, with revised prior-year figures. Here’s the durable path to checking any of these numbers fresh, regardless of what year you’re reading this:

1. For current spot gold price: check JM Bullion’s live chart (jmbullion.com/charts/gold-price), or cross-reference KITCO or Bullion Vault for the same day’s price.
2. For Nevada and US annual gold production, reserves, and mine counts: search “USGS Mineral Commodity Summaries gold” for the current year’s PDF — USGS publishes state-level and national tonnage, value estimates, and reserve figures in a standardized table each year.
3. For NGM-specific operating data (individual mine output, employee counts, capital spending): check Barrick Gold’s and Newmont’s quarterly and annual investor reports, since NGM itself does not separately publish standalone financials as a joint venture.
4. For Element portal access: go through your employer or vendor coordinator — this is never a self-service public signup.

This four-step check is the actual spine of this article: the specific dollar and ounce figures above will be stale within a year, but the sources and the method for re-pulling them will not be.
