Mexico is the latest country to support a moratorium on deep-sea mining. That's 24 countries so far saying NO to deep-sea mining either by supporting a moratorium or a ban on this reckless, out of touch, greed driven, speculative industry. Growing resistance, not least from YOU, has helped countries like Mexico think twice about opening up the deep-sea to mining. After all, if allowed to go ahead, Mexico sits on the edge of ground zero of deep-sea mining. In other good news North Volt, a major battery developer, joins industry leaders in supporting a moratorium on deep-sea mining. Tech, battery and mobility companies have the foresight to know that we don't need metals from the deep-sea for the energy transition. The power is ours! We are the voices for the planet and our own future. We must build on this resistance and make sure deep-sea mining is not given the green light. Together we can stop a disaster from starting!

We've received payment of $3.3 million from Saskatchewan Research Council for sale of stockpiled rare earth material, as announced last month. The sale was facilitated by Natural Resources Canada relating to our stockpiled rare earth material derived from a previous mining campaign on Nechalacho’s North T deposit. We remain focused on developing the Tardiff deposit at Nechalacho and will deliver a Scoping Study for Tardiff in CY2024. Managing Director Lisa Riley said: “Our sale of stockpiled material to SRC is now complete, allowing Vital to derive value from our earlier work at Nechalacho. This allows us to focus on development of Tardiff as a long-life, large-scale rare earths project. A Scoping Study is the next logical step in our pathway and we are on track to deliver the study by the end of 2024. “We expect our newsflow to increase over the coming months as we work towards and achieve milestones towards its completion.” Read the full ASX Announcement here: https://lnkd.in/gRZPRcYe #VML #VitalMetals #REE #rareearths #Canada #ASX #ASXNews

Artisanal and small-scale gold miners in three Colombian communities are part of an initiative focused on eliminating the use of mercury in gold processing. Building on previous grants, GIA awarded a $93,000 grant to enable Mercury Free Mining and the Alliance for Responsible Mining (ARM) to provide training, perform assessments and collect feedback from miners over a six-month period evaluating the innovative Goldrop technology – an alternative to using mercury for gold recovery. GIA initially funded the pilot program in 2021 with a grant to conduct field tests of the Goldrop process and platform. Learn more about this important initiative: https://bit.ly/3IR0oNj

🌍 Embracing Ethical Sourcing and Sustainable Development: Alluvial Mining in Sierra Leone 🇸🇱✨ Delighted to shed light on the transformative power of alluvial mining in Sierra Leone, a beacon of ethical sourcing and sustainable development in the mining industry! 💎🌱 Alluvial mining, characterized by its low environmental impact and community-focused approach, exemplifies Sierra Leone's commitment to responsible resource extraction. By harnessing the power of natural processes, alluvial mining ensures minimal disturbance to ecosystems while empowering local communities to thrive. Moreover, ethical sourcing lies at the heart of Sierra Leone's alluvial mining practices. By prioritizing transparency, and adherence to rigorous environmental standards, the country's mining sector sets a shining example for responsible resource management on a global scale. 💎🌱 Millenium Kapital has entered into a binding agreement with Earth Resources Ltd - Sierra Leone to support their alluvial mining operations. #sierraleone #alluvialmining #ethicalsourcing

GÉCAMINES FACES PROPOSED OVERHAUL TO ADDRESS DEEP-ROOTED CHALLENGES Gécamines, one of the largest state-owned mining companies in the DRC, is poised for a major transformation following proposals from the human rights organization Justicia Asbl. During the Council of Ministers meeting on August 23, 2024, chaired by the Head of State, discussions centered on revitalizing Gécamines. However, Justicia Asbl argues that the current measures are insufficient to address the company’s deep-seated structural issues. In a statement released on Monday, Justicia Asbl advocated for a “total overhaul” of Gécamines, emphasizing that merely resuming mining activities will not resolve the company’s…READ MORE HERE https://lnkd.in/dGpUPY6k

Levin Sources has deep expertise based on many years of on-the-ground experience on what it takes to successfully shift outcomes in artisanal mining through professionalization. Key principles that Estelle Levin-Nally CDir Dip IoD and Rosanna Tufo share in the attached: 1. be miner led 2. take a human rights based approach 3. recognise the diversity of miners and inequalities between them 4. consider formalisation as a long-term process, beyond programmatic wins 5. ensure legal frameworks are realistic 6. understand vested interests and design any intervention in response to these 7. respect ASM as a legitimate contributor to the national economy, and to building elasticity into supply when markets are tight The attached article provides deep insight. As The Blended Capital Group and our partners, including Levin Sources, Alliance for Responsible Mining (ARM), BanQu Inc. and Napier Meridian focus on reimagining outcomes in the #asm sector, we know that success requires targeted approaches that are based on local realities, the kinds of disciplines that are outlined in this article.

Indigenous rights are imperative.

🐚 It’s time to amplify the voices in resistance of the Shuar Arutam People. The struggle of the Shuar People resonates deeply with the Schompen tribal community in the Nicobar Islands, India, who are also fighting to protect their land from the threat of a transshipment hub project. These communities face similar challenges as they strive to preserve their cultural heritage and the natural environment against industrial encroachments. Let's stand in solidarity with Indigenous communities worldwide as they defend their land and rights. #IndigenousRights #SaveTheAmazon #ShuarResistance #NoToMining #ProtectNature #IndigenousYouth #LandIsLife #Solidarity #Sustainability #EnvironmentalJustice #IndigenousVoices #Ecuador #India #ShompenResistance #GlobalResistance
