Macro Socio-
Economical
& Historical
Context
- The Mali Government has placed the Natural Resources and more specifically the Mineral and Mining Sector as a top national priority sector for development, for both the formal and informal
traditional activities.
- The informal sector emanates from a multi-secular traditional activity, which represents an important part of the Mali economy with an annual output of 22 tons of artisanal gold in 2015, and
thrives on a growing population of more than 1 Million people who in turn provide a living for their families and rural communities. This activity largely non regulated acts increasingly as a
destabilizing factor to the Mali economy and to the Mali society as well
- Facing such shortfalls in resources valorisation at the national level and in international investment & business appeal, it has become critical to regulate and give guidance to streamline the
Exploration, Extraction, Logistics, Commerce, Benefication and International Trade to maximise the national value chains, and to level up the social, environmental and governance standards.

extraction processes must always allow for the recovery and the rehabilitation of the ecosystems. Or the transformation into a
new, healthy ecosystem approved by the monitoring parties.
2. Reservoirs, pools, rejections and tailings do not exceed the ecosystem capacity for rehabilitation.
3. The used waters and rejections into ground water, phreatic tables, river, or lake systems are controlled in quality, quantity
and frequency, so that the native aquatic ecosystem is not disrupted.
4. Topsoil removed from the site is replaced during and after exploitation.
5. No Cyanide nor Mercury are to be used, no toxic chemicals are to be dispersed.
6. The mining operations are conducted in agreement with the local Communities, the CHAMBER OF MINES, and the
Government; respectful of local, regional and national regulations.
7. Child Labour and Education awareness programs are conducted.
8. The Green Gold “premium pricing” is redistributed back to the Monitoring Institutions and directly back to the local
communities or the Foundation for Quality of life improvements.
