New Mexico Community Pits

Salable minerals are essential resources managed by BLM New Mexico and include a variety of commodities such as sand, gravel, and caliche. These resources are important for private projects like yard improvements or driveway refurbishments and are crucial public infrastructure development across the nation.

The BLM is committed to ensuring acquisition of salable minerals from public lands is conducted fairly and at a price that reflects fair market value. This approach ensures the American public receives a reasonable return for the resources extracted from federal lands, in alignment with presidential orders aimed at promoting transparency and equitable resource management.

By making salable minerals available at fair market values, the BLM supports local economies while adhering to responsible stewardship of your public lands. If you are interested in sand, gravel, or decorative rock, the BLM can provide the necessary permits and guidance to help you access the salable minerals you need for your projects, while upholding the principles of fairness and accountability to the American public.
