Stamp Program Objectives

In order to address the global mercury problem, Aladdin has developed the Strategic Abatement of Mercury and Poverty (STAMP) program. This program is designed to induce artisanal and all mercury mining users to adopt Aladdin's highly efficient mining technologies. The fundamental strategy looks to illustrate the economic advantages of HGP to the miners. Although being able to provide a safe work environment , safety benefits alone are not sufficient to convince indigent miners to abandon mercury processing. Ultimately, the success of the program must rely on its ability to provide the miners with a greater level of income than what they are able to derive when using mercury. The broad objectives of the STAMP Program are as follows:
1. Employ as many artisanal miners as is possible while maintaining the economical integrity of the program.
2. Work to eliminate the use of mercury when extracting gold in the customary artisanal alluvial concentrates and hard rock deposit areas.
3. Increase artisanal miner wages above the national average and provide bonuses based on gold revenues.
4. Create new employment opportunities and provide training for higher paid jobs in the trades, management, administration, accounting, mining, geology, process engineering, and attendant disciplines.
5. Provide a humanitarian fund to benefit the miners and their families.
6. Convert sites to farming land or forestry after gold is depleted from the properties.
7. Attract artisanal miners to proven gold reserves set aside by large scale mining companies and / or the government.
8. Make a profit for all stakeholders

Aladdin's Pledge To Social Responsibility

Aladdin's Pledge To Social Responsibility

Aladdin Technologies Inc. is dedicated to bringing environmentally friendly processes to host countries so that mineral wealth can be extracted in a way that does not endanger local ecosystems or the health of native people. This interest - coupled with a commitment to mutual respect and a close involvement with all stakeholders - is behind the company's drive to help the government and citizens of countries achieve maximum benefit from their mineral resources. We also recognize that shareholder interests are best served when - based on our ethical treatment of indigenous people and sensitivity to environmental issues - countries actively seek out business relationships with the company.

Social responsibility is not simply an abstract concept, but rather, a realistic moral command and business strategy. Aladdin will do whatever is reasonable to help the communities of people around the world with which it interacts. Therefore, to disregard the tenants of mutual respect and fair trade would not only be morally corrupt, but it could also damage shareholder value in company mineral endeavors. Aladdin endeavors to be a leader in the way in which it brings obligations of social responsibility to its business enterprises.

Scientist Calls Peru Conga Mining Project an ‘Environmental Disaster’


The extraction process is very different from what most people imagine when they think of gold mines. Newmont is not finding gold nuggets in a cave, it is collecting tiny, microscopic fragments of gold from large quantities of dirt and sand that they excavate from gigantic open pit mines.
They have to use a mixture of water and cyanide to separate the gold fragments from the dirt. The process obviously produces large amounts of toxic waste water. This requires very specific technology, for example, powerful water treatment plants and top-notch waste storage facilities, all of which are completely absent from Yanacocha.
Because Newmont lacks these technologies, the water does not get fully treated and it gets dumped into waste reservoirs where it leaks into the subterranean water table along with the cyanide and many other chemicals like lead, arsenic and mercury.
This process is being used at Yanacocha and it will be the same for Conga. It’s an environmental disaster. As far as I know, Newmont’s mining practices are prohibited in all the European Union, the United states, Argentina and Germany. The chemicals they dump in our water system can’t be boiled out. We, as Cajamarcans, consume them every day.
