Montana, known as the Big Sky State, is also nicknamed the Treasure State, and for good reason. In addition to ranching, agriculture, and tourism, mining and other extraction industries play a large role in the economy of Montana. Lumber, oil, natural gas, coal, and hard-rock minerals are all key players in the economy. Copper mining, especially, was once big business in Montana. Gold and silver were also extensively mined in Montana — indeed, the motto of the state is Spanish, meaning “gold and silver.”
Montana also has one of the few large palladium deposits on the planet — the Stillwater Mining Complex. Palladium mined here is used to produce palladium bars and rounds. Montana is sparsely populated, but does have a population of over a million residents. With its deep-rooted history with gold and silver mining, its unsurprising that Montana still boasts several of the best gold and silver dealers in the area.
