What is it like at Tiira Mine Site in Busia? The planetGOLD Uganda team recently visited the site to engage with artisanal and small-scale gold miners and assess how far the switch to mercury-free gold processing has come. The results? Impressive. 1/3 🧵 #MakeMercuryHistory

At Tiira, small-scale gold miners work in tough conditions; crushing, & panning ore, often using mercury to recover gold. But change is happening. Thanks to training & knowledge on alternatives, more miners are abandoning mercury for safer, cleaner methods of gold recovery. 2/3

Through cooperatives, miners in Tiira are building a future where gold doesn't come at the cost of health or the environment. planetGOLD Uganda is supported by the Global Environment Facility (GEF) led by the UN Environment Programme executed by IMPACT in partnership with National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) & Ministry of Energy & Mineral Development under Mineral Development Program 3/3

Why does mercury-free gold matter especially in Uganda’s artisanal & small-scale gold mining sector (ASGM)? Because miners shouldn’t have to risk their health, their children’s future, or their environment just to make a living. Here’s why we keep pushing. 1/2 #MakeMercuryHistory
