“South Cotabato’s achievement is a testament that positive reinforcement can lead to a responsible small-scale mining industry. The province is a shining example of a government that is responsive to the needs of its constituents,” Eve Cubelo, BT artisanal and small-scale mining (ASGM) program manager, said in a statement.
The program promotes responsible mining practices, such as the issuance of a miner’s identification (ID) to all small-scale miners and workers after they have undergone a series of seminars and trainings that include basic first aid and safety; disaster risk reduction/climate change adaptations; solid waste management; and mercury-free gold processing provided by BT.
