“We take the gold out, then put it back in.”
Every ounce of gold traded through AR Gold is legally bound to the restoration of native agricultural topsoil, complete alluvial pit backfilling, and permanent clean water infrastructure at the African source communities where extraction occurs.
Systematic Alluvial Pit Backfilling
Artisanal mining historically leaves dangerous open pits that collect stagnant water and cause erosion. Our heavy equipment fleet systematically re-grades, backfills, and stabilizes these trenches within 90 days of gold extraction.
Agricultural Topsoil Reconditioning
Topsoil stripped during mining is preserved in protected berms and re-spread with nitrogen-fixing cover crops (pigeon pea, cowpea) before planting indigenous hardwoods and commercial fruit crops for local farmers.
100% Mercury-Free Processing Grants
We provide artisanal mining cooperatives with clean gravimetric shaking tables, spiral concentrators, and closed retorts—completely replacing toxic mercury amalgamation and protecting river ecosystems.
Community Clean Water Infrastructure
A fixed contractual royalty from every refined kilogram funds deep solar-powered boreholes, hygienic sanitation, and primary school rehabilitation across Kono District (Sierra Leone) and Migori (Kenya).
