Esta primera guía busca contribuir con los mineros en la identificación de malas prácticas minero-ambientales y la implementación de mejores prácticas que impulsen la minería artesanal y de pequeña escala responsable.

Since 2018, The Impact Facility has been looking for practical ways to manage, mitigate an eliminate mercury use in the ASGM space. This report presents work carried out in mercury use sensitisation, with more than a dozen artisanal mining groups in Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania, reflecting on successes, challenges and failures experienced along the way

This guide describes the principals of reducing and eliminating mercury use in ASGM in an accessible manner. Featuring many photographs of ASGM equipment and techniques, the document explains the importance of milling and concentration, as well as other covering other topics such as retorts and tailings. 

The face of ASGM and conditions in Indonesia can change for the better and healthier by switching miners to using mercury-free technologies and enabling them to sell their gold to the formal market. This video from the planetGOLD project in Indonesia explains why it's critical to Make Mercury History in artisanal and small-scale gold mining to ensure healthy food chains and to protect human health today and for future generations. Closed captions in English are available.

The brochure intends to encourage small-scale miners to sell gold to the BSP and its authorized representatives. It contains the advantages of selling gold formally, the basic information about the BSP, and its gold-buying conditions.

The brochure introduces a standard set of criteria for conformance of the SSM organizations under the planetGOLD program. It contains the summary of modules based on the CRAFT Code and the planetGOLD-specific criteria as per the GEF Environment and Social Safeguards requirements.

With the results of these field researches, GOLD-ISMIA will develop a mobile application and a web portal database through which the estimation of the mercury avoided from the mercury-free processing units within the project locations can be monitored in a systematic way and on regular basis.

Field research conducted by the GOLD-ISMIA project team at Buwun Mas and Kedaro villages at the Sekotong field location investigated the mass balance of Hg during amalgamation in a rod mill.

En esta primera edición, el catálogo cuenta con empresas proveedoras de tecnologías para la explotación y procesamiento de mineral, las cuales cuentan con los requisitos mínimos como: RUC activo, domicilio fiscal habido y experiencia de atención a la MAPE. Además se incorporaron proveedores que vienen desarrollando innovación aplicado al sector.
