Most importantly, there is
no way around water pollution with a project like “New Prosperity”.
Toxic substances such as cyanide are used for gold extraction and that
poison has to stay somewhere. Why should the Tsilhqotin people be forced
to take care of such poisons left behind by a company that will not be
held responsible for its effects? There is no amount of gold or money
that could restore the area to its current pristine state. There is no
amount of gold or money worth more than the perfect peace and quiet of
the area as it is right now. There isn’t one single job offered at any
mining site that could be more pleasurable or joyful than catching ten
fish in a half hour, which is a common occurrence at Fish Lake as it is
now. The Tsilhqot’in people love and enjoy that territory as it is now,
as it has been preserved by their ancestors for all their descendants.
Those ancestors already paid a price in blood to protect their land,
they already stopped the gold rush in their area, at the cost of their
lives. The value of wildlife and the wild landscapes of the Tsilhqot’in
territory is well beyond the value of any amount of gold any mining
company or any government is greedy to extract.

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.
