planetGOLD Mongolia project updates - 3rd quarter of 2023

Explore the planetGOLD Mongolia's latest newsletter

We are working toward the formalization and professionalization of the artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM) sector in Mongolia, including the elimination of mercury use in gold processing. Collaborating with stakeholders along the gold supply chain – miners, gold traders, local and national governments, as well as civil society – allows us to sustainably improve artisanal mining operations as an important economic opportunity for remote communities, strengthen regulations governing the sector, and enhance the formalization and professionalization of ASGM in Mongolia. For regular project updates, follow us on Facebook, Twitter/X, and LinkedIn.

In the third quarter’s edition, we are excited to share:

• Forums on ASGM a huge success
• Capacity-building activities continue
• Completion of mercury-free processing systems enhanced despite significant flooding
• Implementation of the planetGOLD Criteria
• "Make Mercury History" knowledge-sharing activities organized widely 

Let’s dive in!
