Indonesia to legalize 2,655 hectares of small gold mines to cut pollution and support miners.
The Riau provincial government in Indonesia plans to legalize 2,655 hectares of small-scale illegal gold mines across seven districts in Kuantan Singingi regency, issuing community mining permits to formalize operations and reduce environmental damage.
Individual miners may operate up to five hectares, cooperatives up to 10 hectares, with strict rules on mercury use and equipment.
The move aims to improve oversight, protect the Kuantan River, and support local livelihoods amid growing concerns over pollution and forest fires.
