Mercury Free Mining

Mercury Free Mining is a non-profit dedicated to the eradication of mercury in gold resourcing. We act as an advocate to collaborate between jeweler's, miners, innovators, and scientists to develop fact-based awareness of mercury in the gold supply chain, find and implement safe, affordable, effective mercury alternatives, and aim to improve our global well-being. Currently, over 15 million artisanal and small-scale gold miners (ASGM) supply nearly 20% of our gold and release 2,200 tons of deadly mercury into our biosphere annually. These miners, looking to feed themselves and their families, utilize mercury because they lack of an effective alternative. Mercury Free Mining is redesigning the gold supply to eliminate the hazards and harms accompanying mercury poisoning such as neural degradation, organ failure, and multi-generational debilitating physical impacts. As we work to achieve our mission we hope you join us and become enriched through our content.
