Social Responsibility

Are We Solving a Problem?

It's a fair question to ask if we really are solving problems in the world. It's very easy for companies to slap on a socially responsible issue that is somewhat related to their business and "greenwash" their businesses. It is considered a deceitful advertising gimmick intended to mislead their consumers.

Social Responsibility is at the core of what we do at GoldFinX. Period.

Take a look at this statement:

The Artisanal and Small-Scale Gold Mining sector is the single largest source of man-made mercury emissions, responsible for the release of as much as 1,000 tonnes of mercury to the atmosphere annually.

That's an incredible 1000 tonnes. And it affects you and me on a daily basis, including the food we consume and the exposure to mercury that creates unhealthy conditions for many of us. Read the following great article from the Global Environment Facility that talks about many of the issues confronting artisanal gold mining today and the far-reaching problems they are creating.

The Heart of Mine Foundation coming soon

This Is What It's All About: In light of the above, the Heart of Mine Foundation is coming out in full force in Q1, 2021. This initiative has been in the background of everything we do with our first mining initiatives in the Ivory Coast. And now it's becoming official in the new year. This will be a separate entity, spearheading many of the artisanal gold mining deep-thinking needed to make lasting, effective change. We're very excited about it, and more news is coming in the following weeks and months.

Social Media

That Looks Kinda Familiar

We're in the right place at the right time...everything is pointing towards it!

We posted this video on Facebook (November 2nd) of a nugget found on one of the Ivory Coast mining concessions. Does it remind you of something? Think about it for a second.

If you said "the continent of Africa," then you read our minds! It's a very appropriate image of our efforts there this past year as well as 2021 and beyond!

Another AMA with CEO Philippe Bednarek

Philippe had an intense Q&A session with Gains Associates, a growing and influential group of crypto investors. These types of Ask-Me-Anything sessions are challenging since crypto investors are often looking for short-term returns on their investments, and they want to have a sense that it is possible with the GiX coin. Philippe did a good job once again putting together the long-term goals of GoldFinX with the short-term needs of some investors in the crypto space.

The High Price of Gold: Although this article was written during gold's highest price levels over at Inside Crypto Today, the article touches on some topics that are really important. Read about it here.

GoldFinX's Holy Grail: Is the GiX coin a great diversification asset for your portfolio? The answer is YES! Read about the reasoning at Blockmanity.

GoldFinX Team

Alone We Can Do So Little; Together We Can Do So Much

The great quote from Helen Keller in the title above perfectly sums up what the GoldFinX team is all about. Don't get me wrong: after watching a lot of my fellow co-workers in action over the last couple of decades, there is A LOT we can do individually. But together we've been able to use our extensive international and entrepreneurship experience to take a complex project like GoldFinX and build something cohesively beautiful. There's simply nothing like it in the crypto industry!
