circular regenesis

Conventionally the most precious mineral are mined by the poorest people. Mines are typically abandoned after the minerals have been extracted, leaving the land destroyed and desolate and the communities in generational poverty.

ETHICAL MINERALS invests in the regenesis of the land by refurbishing the former mining pits and turning them into agricultural farms. This circular approach creates value for the artisinal mining communities, long after the mining has come to an end. The custodians of the land are able to benefit from the land for generations to come.

Farming crops, while also transforming seeds into oil that can be sold creates additional value for the communities. ETHICAL MINERALS implements green energy systems in the mining communities to power water irrigation systems and energy to remote mining communities.

ETHICAL MINERAL abstains from the use of toxic chemical such as mercury during the mining or purification process. Mercury is conventionally used in the mining and purification of gold. It pollutes waterways and soil, and can be fatal when introduced into the food chain. Countless of lives have been ended due to mercury poisoning.
