The US has no royalties on gold mining at the present.

Several states do.

Currently 12%, increasing to 16% of profit from the mine.  It has been roughly equivalent to 2% of the gross products extracted.

I'm not talking about income tax but about the special taxes (called dues in the English Language)

Which ones?
Wyoming, for one.

" As the holder of a permit for mining in Wyoming from the Department of Environmental Quality, you are required to file annually for gross products and severance tax purposes. Any valuable deposit that is severed should be reported for tax purposes. These valuable deposits include, but are not limited to, coal, uranium, trona, bentonite, sand and gravel, decorative stone, copper, gold, silver, diamonds, jade, limestone, gypsum, or any other solid mineral that is severed for private or commercial use or sale."
I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

To avoid doing an exhaustive survey, I'll just list five in addition to Wyoming (which PDH already mentioned):
New Mexico, Nevada, South Dakota, Utah, and Arizona.

I further note that the link above for Utah asserts that 35 states have a severance tax of some sort.

I had never heard of a severance tax before.  Thanks for the education ulmont.
