Planet Gold Bolivia Project

It aims to contribute to the reduction of mercury use in the artisanal and small-scale gold mining sector in Bolivia.

The Planet Gold Bolivia Project contributes to the reduction of mercury use in the artisanal and small-scale gold mining sector in Bolivia. This will be achieved through the application of a holistic and multi-sectoral approach to integrated formalization, and by increasing access to finance for ASGM miners. In turn, it will lead to the adoption of sustainable mercury-free technologies and the creation of responsible and traceable gold supply chains.

PROFIN implements Component 2 which aims to increase the mining sector’s access to financing to acquire mercury-free processing technologies. Provides technical assistance, promotes technology transfer, supports formalization and carries out awareness-raising actions and dissemination of lessons learned in the sector.

Promoting environmental care that depends on restricted and controlled use of mercury in gold mining, promoting alternative technologies and promoting access to adequate financial services.
