Intelligent and Remote System for Underground Mines (IRSUM)
A low-cost technological tool with which ASM miners will know in real-time the variables involved in the mining operation, occupational health and safety, and the environment, in addition to providing them with technical assistance and professional support at an affordable cost.
Provenance Proof: Technologies for transparency for gemstone supply chains
Provenance Proof provides an array of technologies - physical tracers and digital tracking systems - with the aim of bringing more transparency to every step in the gemstone industry’s value chain.
Waterhound Futures
Waterhound’s cloud-based software applies machine learning and AI to eliminating waste water and reducing carbon emissions as sources of pollution of local freshwater resources, communities and ecosystems.
Harnessing a domestic economic drive for an optimal ASM sector
The ‘Gold+’ innovation shows the large financial losses of ASM to the owner (national society), to domestically drive and finance statutory optimization of the sector.
Community Health in Artisanal and Small-Scale Mining (CHASM)
Community Health in Artisanal and Small-Scale Mining (CHASM) delivers scientifically rigorous, locally-driven environmental health response, safer-mining techniques, and remediation to vulnerable mining communities through partnerships with humanitarian organizations, miners, governments, and community leaders.
UAV-mounted geo-magnetic mapping for supporting responsible ASGM land-use
We intend to empower, and capacitate government and private sector partners, in West Africa - including groups of artisanal miners, to utilize UAV-based geo-magnetic survey, as a core tool for helping ASGM stakeholders map new gold prospects efficiently and safely, while vastly improving land management.
Artisanal and Small-Scale Gold Mining AI Management System
The Artisanal and Small-Scale Gold Mining (ASGM) AI Management System is an automated web-based platform designed to assist governments and communities alike in addressing key social and environmental issues associated with ASGM by providing three independent and integrated systems.
Artisanal Gold Council
Mercury free high-recovery scalable processing system for Artisanal Gold Mining that meets international standards and supports bright futures for miners and their communities.
Connecting women gold panners to the supply chain in Indonesia
This innovation enables poor, marginalised Dayak women gold panners in Kalimantan, Indonesia to self-organise, improve their productivity, and sell responsibly-mined gold at a premium price to jewellery-makers in Bali.
ArduiNo Mercury
This project will build a low-cost way to detect mercury from artisanal mining in rivers that can be deployed over vast areas and that can automatically alert advocates with the GPS coordinates of where and when illegal mining is occurring so that remedial action can take place.
Bridging ASGM Information and Data Gap
We harness immense amounts of satellite, drone, and ground data and use artificial intelligence to turn it into actionable information for policy makers and for the AI development community.
Elemental Fingerprinting Supply Chain Tracker
The elemental fingerprinting system provides internal physical tagging of the raw gold as close as possible to the source, complementing other tracing systems including blockchain and secure bags.
