For hundreds of years humanity has sought its required resources to build, house, fuel, feed and celebrate life from the ground under our feet, yet has never considered, let alone mitigated for the subsequent devastating consequences our drive for human civilisation has on our co-inhabitants, ecosystems and wildlife sharing this precious blue planet.
Over the last two decades Enviromine CEO, Graham Gilmour, has been fortunate enough to spend his life building and delivering multiple businesses across the African continent. From Telecoms to Fintech, Banking and Payment Services to Mining, he has worked to create successful companies that seek profitability with personal philanthropy projects being his ‘leveller’ to society and the communities he impacted.
One such project in Sierra Leone for the exploration and extraction of alluvial Gold deposits revealed the scale and how widespread the damage of this seemingly enterprising activity was causing.
Graham had the pleasure of meeting considerably informed and educated such as a newly graduated PhD student. The basis for his thesis was the ‘lost’, ‘invisible’ mineral resources that have been discarded in the mining process and that remain in the waste generated from every mine that we refer to commonly as ‘tailings’.
The tailings, it is proven, contain considerable deposits of not only the primary precious mineral originally sought but also significant remnants of the mining process which are toxic and poisonous to all aspects of the natural world, including humanity itself. For example, mining enough Gold for a single wedding ring generates 20 tonnes of toxic, poisonous waste alone.
Whilst astounding and genuinely shocking, from this revelation Enviromine was born.
Our mission is simple. To source the substantial Gold tailings from 1000’s of redundant mines across South Africa that are infecting the environment and all living things, reprocess this harmful waste with advances in technology extracting the significant deposits of Gold and ultimately remove the harmful, toxic, poisonous elements from the environment.
