Platform Impact
Measured Outcomes. Verified Results.
Impact is not a narrative at GMRWS ~ it is an engineering specification. Every pillar is designed to a measurable outcome, and every deployment generates verifiable data for environmental, social, and development finance stakeholders.
Environmental
Restoring What Was Taken
500 kg+
Mercury Capture Target ~ Phase 1
Target volume for hermetic capture and permanent immobilization during the Costa Rica pilot deployment.
12
Aquifer Systems Targeted
Mapped pre-deployment. Primary water sources identified for protection through Pillar C subsurface intelligence.
800 ha
Remediation Target
Phase 1 tailings footprint identified for molecular stabilization and transition to agricultural substrate.
0
Mercury Release Events
Design specification. Zero-release engineering target across all GMRWS hermetic containment deployments.
Social
Communities as Stakeholders
12
Communities in Phase 1 Zone
Villages within the Costa Rica pilot region identified as direct water infrastructure beneficiaries.
340+
Jobs Targeted
Direct employment projection across remediation, operations, and community maintenance by Phase 3.
28,000+
People in Target Communities
Phase 1 beneficiary population across the pilot region ~ water access, land restoration, and health outcomes.
100%
Community Ownership
Platform commitment. Non-negotiable design principle ~ all water infrastructure transfers to community ownership at handover.
Development
A Platform Built for Fundability
Self-financing
Model Design
Platform designed to operate without sustained grant dependency after initial deployment.
60%
Compliance Cost Reduction
Average reduction in regulatory liability costs for mining operators partnering with GMRWS.
SDGs 3, 6, 13, 15
Development Alignment
Health, clean water, climate action, and life on land ~ all addressed by a single platform deployment.
Minamata
Treaty Compliance
Every GMRWS deployment generates Article 8 ASGM National Action Plan-compatible reporting data.
The Platform Model
Remediation That Sustains Itself
Subsurface intelligence maps contamination and aquifer systems at low cost
Mercury capture eliminates the primary toxin and satisfies Minamata obligations
Tailings remediation converts stranded liabilities into community agricultural land
Water infrastructure delivers clean water and anchors community partnership
Environmental monitoring data feeds treaty compliance and development finance reporting
Roadmap
Deployment Phases
Pilot
Phase 1 ~ Pilot Deployment
Scope
1-3 sites, single country
Timeline
6-18 months
Deploy the full five-pillar stack at a validated partner site. Generate baseline performance data, refine field protocols, and demonstrate the platform model for development finance institutions.
Key Outcomes
- Mercury capture rate validated at >99%
- 3D subsurface environmental model generated
- Community water system operational and handed over
- Tailings molecular treatment underway
- Aquifer monitoring network established
Regional
Phase 2 ~ Regional Scale
Scope
10-30 sites, 2-4 countries
Timeline
18-48 months
Replicate the pilot model across a regional mining corridor. Train local operators, build supply chains for reagents and equipment, and establish cross-site performance monitoring for development bank reporting.
Key Outcomes
- 100+ communities with clean water access
- Regional mercury reduction measurable at basin scale
- Local operator certification program active
- Carbon and environmental credit frameworks initiated
- Development bank co-financing secured
Global
Phase 3 ~ Global Platform
Scope
100+ sites, multi-continent
Timeline
48-120 months
Operate as a licensed environmental remediation platform, enabling sovereign governments, mining operators, and development institutions to deploy the GMRWS stack under license and technical supervision.
Key Outcomes
- Platform licensed in 15+ countries
- Sovereign environmental fund structures operational
- Minamata Convention compliance reporting integrated
- Publicly reportable environmental and social metrics
- Anchor case for global mercury treaty implementation
Geographic Focus
Target Regions

Align your capital with verified outcomes
GMRWS provides third-party verifiable environmental and social metrics ~ a requirement for GEF, World Bank, and Green Climate Fund grant compliance.
