Fair gold starts at the river.

A trusted, transparent and responsible pathway from Papua New Guinea's rivers to the formal gold market.

01 · The river

Aerial view of river channels winding through green lowlands 6°S 145°E

Gold travels down from the mountains.

19×Gold is about nineteen times heavier than water, so it settles in riverbeds and gravel. It can be recovered with gravity, without mercury.

02 · The miner

Aerial view straight down on small-scale miners panning for gold along an ochre channel

A network, not a mine.

Across PNG, families and communities recover small amounts of gold from rivers, often far from banks and reliable buyers. PSMG is working to bring a professional buying system closer to where the gold is produced.

03 · Weigh & test
