Newlox Gold - Dr Marcello Veiga Presents the Newlox Coexistence Model for Artisanal Mining at the UN Planet Gold Conference
Vancouver, BC – TheNewswire - 14 October 2021 – Newlox Gold Ventures Corp. (“Newlox” or the “Company”) (CSE:LUX) | (Frankfurt/Stuttgart:NGO) | (PINK:NWLXF), is pleased to announce that Dr. Marcello Veiga, head of Newlox Research and Development Corp. recently made a keynote presentation at the United Nations’ Planet Gold Conference. A video recording of Dr. Veiga’s presentation is available at this link: Click Here
Dr. Veiga described the Company’s Coexistence Model for Artisanal Mining, which seeks to improve outcomes for miners and the environment by providing miners with an environmentally and socially positive alternative to artisanal mineral processing through fair partnerships with the formal resource industry. This method, which is designed to result in greater economic productivity for local miners while simultaneously reducing environmental and social impacts, is currently being implemented by Newlox Gold at its operations.
Planet Gold is led by the United Nations Environment Programme and implemented in partnership with the UN Industrial Development Organization, UN Development Programme, and Conservation International. The initiative, in which Newlox Research and Development has been a forerunner participant, has the stated goal of making small-scale gold mining safer, cleaner, and more profitable to develop a clean global supply of gold from small-scale miners.
The Planet Gold programme works in partnership with governments, the private sector, and artisanal mining communities in nine countries to significantly improve artisanal and small-scale miners’ production practices and work environments. By working to close the financing gap, support formalization, raise awareness and connect mining communities with mercury-free technology and formal markets, the programme aims to demonstrate a pathway to cleaner and more efficient small-scale gold mining practices that benefit everyone, from mine to mine market.
The most recent Planet Gold event provided a venue for a dynamic conversation with key players in the artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM) sector who shared their knowledge and experience regarding gold production technologies that do not use mercury. Panellists presented and discussed both tried and true methods and new and emerging technologies that can contribute to our common goal of assisting artisanal and small-scale miners throughout the world in the transition to mercury-free mining.
