Mwamba is a gold mining company dedicated to the acquisition, development and operation of late-stage resource properties in Tanzania. Mwamba is commited to the empowerment of artisanal gold mining communities and endeavors to sustainably develop ASGM in its areas of operation. The majority of ASGMs rely on toxic and inefficient mercury as a fast and cheap alternative to capital-intensive modern processing technologies. Mwamba eliminates mercury in ASGM communities near it's mine developments by purchasing their ore. This intervention leads to a 400% increase in the productivity of participating miners by doubling gold recovery and eliminating hazardous mercury-processing related labor. Mwamba is a member of the UNEP's global mercury partnership and a private sector advisor to the GEF funded and UNEP led planetGOLD Program.
