After ASGM operations cease or move to new locations, tailings are often discarded without proper stabilization or containment measures. Such activity poses a risk to the environment and human health, especially if tailings contain residual mercury (or other toxic materials). View the collection of resources curated by planetGOLD and visit our Voices section to read more about the dangers of tailings.

Initiative for Responsible Mining Assurance
English
The IRMA Guidance Document to the IRMA Standard for Responsible Mining V1.0 has been updated. This latest version (V1.3), is available in English, and can be found under the Resources webpage.
The objectives are to improve working conditions for miners and to strengthen mining organisations and their capacity to lobby for a range of improvements and benefits.
