It aims to promote public and private sector accountablity in the mining sector, to advance civil society and socio-economic rights, to protect the free flow of information, and to strengthen justice and equality.

#MineAlert-Africa Map

#MineAlert-Africa is a geo-journalism platform documenting biodiversity threats posed by mining licenses across the African continent. It confronts official boundaries of mining licenses across over 21 African countries against protected areas, allowing journalists for a quick verification of any license holders operations. The data featured covers a snapshot taken in November 2023.

Ouro Alvo/Ouroteca

“Gold Library” – database with samples obtained from different parts of Brazil that allows the federal police to create a chemical fingerprint of each sample, which they can then use to cross-reference the origin of seized or suspicious gold.

Minespider Platform

Supply chain tracking using blockchain.

Radar Mining Monitoring

Monitors the advance of gold mining via satellite and radar in the Amazonian region of Madre de Dios in Peru, a country where the “gold rush” has devastated more than 237,000 acres (96,000 hectares) of primary forest over the past 30 years. It can overcome the limitation that satellites encounter when trying to capture photos of the forest on a cloudy day. RAMI’s radar monitoring can “see” through clouds and thus provide information about the forest without weather patterns getting in the way.
