Mercury Free Mining

Mercury Free Mining Mercury Free Mining is dedicated to eradicating mercury for the health of our world. Join us today!

Over 15 million artisanal and small-scale gold miners (ASGM) in developing countries eke out a meager existence—and they have no alternative to using toxic mercury as part of their gold-extraction process. Unfortunately, there is a tragic, hidden cost to their health, and to the planet at large. Mercury is a potent, permanent toxin that can poison the human body irreparably, causing neurological d

isorders, birth defects, and a multitude of other illnesses. As an environmental contaminant, mercury is exceedingly difficult to remove. The effects that mercury has on the miners and their communities are devastating and the contamination continues on its destructive path flowing into the atmosphere, downstream through rivers, into the ocean, and into the fish that we eat. The tragedy that befalls these miners and their families, as well as the long-term damage that our planet and its people suffer, must be eliminated. Mercury Free Mining exists to find a solution to this ever-growing problem—and together, we can. Mercury Free Mining is dedicated to the implementation of effective mercury free gold processing alternatives within ASGM. We work to connect miners and the jewelry industry striving to create a mercury free gold supply chain.

🚨 Big news from the field 🚨

After 8 years of research and field testing, we’ve seen firsthand how the Goldrop processor can outperform mercury-based methods in recovering gold from ore.

But here’s the truth we can’t ignore:
💡 Technology alone isn’t enough.

A powerful new approach is emerging—one that’s simple, scalable, and puts miners first.

💛 It’s called the Co-Existence Model.

Artisanal miners bring their ore to a centralized processing center.
They get paid on the spot.
Then return to mining.

❌ No mercury.
❌ No complex tech.
✅ Just clean, high-recovery gold processing.

✨ Miners mine. Processors process.
➡️ Higher profits
➡️ Healthier communities
➡️ Mercury pollution eliminated at the source

We’re exploring this model with the guidance of Dr. Marcello Veiga, Professor Emeritus at UBC and former Chief Technical Advisor to UNIDO’s Global Mercury Project. His 120+ publications have helped reshape global mining practices.

This vision is still evolving—but the early feedback is inspiring.
We’re listening. We’re learning. We’re building.
