The Artisanal Gold Council (AGC) is a not-for-profit organization based out of Victoria, BC, Canada dedicated to the sustainable development of artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM) communities in the developing world. Our philosophy is to work directly with ASGM communities and local experts to find practical solutions that address the unique circumstances that exist in different locations around the world. In order to stay true to this, the AGC maintains a minimal core staff in Canada and focuses on the capacitation and cooperation of international partners in the developing world.
Field based programs focused on sharing and encouraging better practices in ASGM are at the core of our primary activities. Expertise in gold extraction, mercury science, and experience with miners in many countries over the past 15 years equip the AGC to provide technological, social, and policy solutions to implement field programs successfully.
