Objectives and Activities

positive impact.

activities in relation to those
purposes for the public
benefit, in particular, the
activities, projects or

bank account and could not receive donations.

Achievements and Performance

SORP reference
Summary of the main
achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.		 Para 1.20 Heart of Mine was gifted lab separators for the
on‐site separation techniques. These have
been provided free to mines in the Ivory Coast
to replace the omnipresent use of mercury.
The 12thgoal on the United Nation’s
Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) list is
Responsible Consumption and Production,
which we are directly impacting by the use of
the lab separators.
We have been preparing how we can help
educate communities with the goal of
providing funding, building capacity and
community training within Artisanal and Small
Gold Mining (ASGM) communities in 2022.
We have also been preparing to launch our
doctors on wheels program to provide mobile
health care to address health issues and
support advanced health research on mercury
use in ASGM communities.
In November 2021, Heart of Mine was invited
by Planet Gold to present its mercury
eradication program. During the presentation
Planet Gold highlighted the seven different
objectives outlined by the United Nation’s SGD
list which Heart of Mine is directly impacting,
this represented half of the items on the list.
