About Fairmined

Fairmined is a product seal that certifies gold and silver from responsible artisanal & small-scale mining organizations. The objective is to bring about positive change to small-scale mining, promote sustainable social-economic development, ensure environmental protection, and give everyone access to responsibly mined gold and silver. The Fairmined certification system is secured by independent, accredited auditing organizations. This ensures that the mining organizations comply with the requirements of the Fairmined Standard. The entire supply chain is audited, which includes all companies working with and making claims about Fairmined Gold and Fairmined Silver, from the mine to the finished piece of jewelry.

Benefits for mining communities: ​

• A guaranteed minimum price of 95 % of the London Bullion Market price for gold and silver (Fairever even pays 96 % to 98 % for gold and 100 % to 160 % for silver!) 
• A premium for better living and working conditions and community development 
• Investment in organizational and social development and environmental protection

The Fairmined initiative was founded by the Alliance for Responsible Mining (ARM), an international non-governmental organization that is regarded as a pioneer and leading organisation in the field of responsible artisanal & small-scale gold mining since its foundation in 2004. ARM supports this form of mining to make it a legal, organized, and profitable activity that uses efficient technologies and is socially and environmentally responsible.

To achieve the goal of responsible mining, the Fairmined Initiative works with all relevant stakeholders throughout the supply chain: from artisanal mines to legislators, manufacturers, jewelers and consumers. This stakeholder forum is the largest in this area and represents the various perspectives of the respective groups in a joint program. 

The Fairmined website provides detailed information about ARM's work, the Fairmined Standard, and its benefits for artisanal and small-scale mining organizations.

About Post-Consumer Sourcing

Post-consumer recycled gold is recovered from products that have completed their first life in the hands of end-users. This includes jewellery, watches, dental alloys, electronics, and industrial residues.

Unlike pre-consumer factory scrap or bullion remelt, post-consumer gold:

• ensures true circularity by extending the life of existing gold,
• reduces pressure on newly mined resources, and
• avoids risks from opaque or illegal supply chains.

Every batch is refined to 999.9 purity and independently assayed before re-entering the market.

Our recycled gold is refined by Stephen Betts & Sons (UK) — a family-owned business operating since 1760 and one of the oldest precious metal refiners in Europe.

Betts is independently audited to Fairmined and Fairtrade standards and is known for its strict environmental and ethical practices. Every lot of post-consumer feedstock is melted, purified, and assayed to 999.9 ‰ fine gold before entering the market as casting grain or bar.
