The Gold Within Report

This report captures FADev’s impactful participation in the 8th Geita Mining Technology Exhibition, where the organisation championed responsible artisanal and small‑scale gold mining. Instead of showcasing machinery, FADev focused on knowledge-sharing—demonstrating mercury‑free retort technology, distributing simplified policy papers, and engaging miners through peer‑led Training of Trainers (ToT) sessions. With nearly 900 visitors reached, the report highlights how FADev bridged gaps between law, safety, and everyday mining realities, empowering communities with practical, scalable solutions for safer and more sustainable mining practices.
