The Mercury-Free “Gold Kacha” Initiative​

Location: Busia (Eastern Uganda) Focus: Clean Tech & Environmental Health

The end of toxic extraction. For generations, small-scale miners have used mercury to amalgamate gold—a process that poisons the miner and devastates the local river ecosystems. Alpha Royal is leading the transition to physics-based recovery.

We are financing the distribution of ‘Gold Kacha’ concentrators—simple, robust gravity centrifuges that use water pressure and rotation to separate heavy gold particles from lighter sand. These machines require zero chemicals and recover up to 70% of fine gold (compared to 30% with mercury). We are proving that environmental responsibility is not a cost; it is a profit multiplier
