豪西蒙（Holcim）宣布它已經取得了一項長期的采礦權租約，該礦面積為1760英畝，位于內華達州，距離拉斯維加斯40公里。豪西蒙將很快展開石灰石礦藏的測試，以開采作為生產水泥的原料。
豪西蒙地區副總裁Paul Harrington 說：“這一位置有助于豪西蒙在這一區域未來水泥生產量的巨大增加，并有助于內華達州和猶它州市場未來的增長。”他還表示“盡管現在市場間歇性低迷，我們對內華達州項目未來增長還是充滿信心。加上我們目前在拉斯維加斯的姐妹公司，骨料工業公司的表現，這些都使豪西蒙成為區域新項目發展供應商的重要人選。”

Holcim obtains Nevada mining rights
Holcim (us) announCed it has acquired a long-term lease option to the mining rights on a 1760-acre site located in Clark County, Nevada, situated 40 miles east of Las Vegas. Holcim will soon begin the testing process to confirm the viability of the limestone reserves as raw material for cement production.
“This site has the potential to significantly increase Holcim’s cement production in the area and support the future growth of the Nevada and Utah markets,” said Paul Harrington, senior vice president, Mountain Region, Holcim (US). “Despite the current market lull we have great confidence that the future growth projections in Nevada, combined with our current presence in Las Vegas through our sister company Aggregate Industries, will well position Holcim to support new development projects throughout the region.”
