This April, DENR and its Mines and Geosciences Bureau (MGB) led the Philippine launch of an international project on eliminating use of mercury in artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM).
The United Nations Environment Program and United Nations Industrial Development Organization are implementing the 2019-2024 USD11.70 million project in the Philippines and Mongolia.
Such project is under the Global Opportunities for Long-Term Development of the ASGM sector (GOLD) program which seeks to address key issues linked to continuous use of mercury and to provide opportunities for sustainable development of communities concerned.
