Fact Sheet : Tracing Mercury Avoidance from ASGM Through Jari Emas

GOLD-ISMIA developed ‘Jari Emas’ mobile application and web portal database to support digitization in the inventory of mercury avoided from the ASGM sector. Since its official go-live for public on 01 January 2022, Jari Emas has recorded a total of 8.59 ton mercury avoided. With further coordination with the Ministry of Environment and Forestry as the National Secretariat of Minamata Convention, this application can be expanded to other ASGM sites, providing the Government of Indonesia with a national database of mercury avoidance by means of reduction from the sector.
