Hello Thanks to CASM a lot of people talking about certification for artisanally-mined minerals and I have been fortunate to be involved ina few of these initiatives. However, as most of us who are doing this have greater expertise on ASM than we do on certification, often discussions can be confusing and progress is slow as people figure out what certification actually means and requires. So I wanted to use this opportunity today to get us all onto the same page and hopefully improve everyone’s understanding of how certification can be used to help make ASM work for development.
