Mercury pollution from artisanal and small-scale mining poses a severe environmental and health risk, contaminating water sources, harming ecosystems, and endangering communities.
At Makor Resources, our Gold & Mercury Recovery Program is revolutionizing the industry by eliminating mercury use, increasing recovery rates, and integrating Artisanal and Small-Scale miners into responsible gold supply chains. Through innovative technology, hands-on training, and ethical sourcing partnerships, we are building a sustainable, mercury-free future for gold mining — one miner at a time.
20% of the World’s Gold Comes from Artisanal and Small-Scale Miners — It’s Time to Mine It Responsibly.

At Makor Resources, we have developed a holistic approach to transforming the industry — ensuring that artisanal and small-scale miners have access to the tools, knowledge, and market connections they need to mine responsibly and profitably.
