U.S. Consortium Organizes Fairmined Gold for the Marketplace

"The goal for responsible sourcing isn’t just to offer materials that lessen the negative impact of our industry, but instead to create alternatives that can provide a positive impact in the communities and environments where these resources are extracted. Fairmined gold is a material with a story we want to share," said Anna Bario of Bario-Neal.
EM is working with Hoover & Strong, a leading U.S. precious metals refiner known for its 100 percent certified recycled metals, to create a 100 percent traceable pathway from Relave, Peru to individual jewelers around the U.S., and ultimately into the hands of U.S. consumers
