Ethical Gold for a Better Future
Ecological Gold is responsibly sourced. It is responsibly mined with consideration to humanitarian, ecological and environmental factors. Fairmined Gold and Fairtrade Gold work to reduce the toxic chemicals used by Small Scale Artisanal Miners (ASM). Ecological Gold does not use any toxic chemicals in processing the gold.
“We are happy to announce that there is now an available supply of Fairmined Ecological Gold. The miners who produce Fairmined Ecological Gold take pride that they do not use toxic chemicals and are an example of how gold mining can be practiced in a way that takes measures to minimize the environmental impact. There are jewellers that have been requesting specifically for gold that is extracted without any use of mercury or cyanide. Now they can support these miners by sourcing Fairmined Ecological Gold and add value to their jewellery by using the Fairmined Ecological Gold label.”
Kenneth Porter, Head of Fairmined Business Development in the Alliance for Responsible Mining.
The mining organisations producing Fairmined Ecological Gold are currently the only artisanal mining organisations in the world with a third-party certified chemical-free gold production. In Mongolia, XAMODX was the first Asian Organsation to ever obtain Fairmined Certification thanks to the Support of ARM’s ally the Sustainable Artisanal Mining (SAM) Project who has also been a key partner in establishing supply chains from Mongolia. The mines in La Llanada, Colombia, have inspired other miners to follow and five other organizations are now working with ARM towards Fairmined Ecological Certification.
