Regeneration, a Washington-based public benefit company, is turning abandoned mine waste in the river valleys of Yukon and British Columbia into responsibly sourced gold. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Founded out of the nonprofit Resolve, Regeneration uses advanced re-mining technology to extract remaining metals from historical placer sites while restoring rivers and habitats damaged by more than a century of mining. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe shouldn\u2019t let mine waste go to waste\u2013we should treat it as an opportunity,\u201d said Stephen D\u2019Esposito, Regeneration\u2019s president and CEO.<\/p>\n

Regeneration\u2019s projects began in Alaska and the Yukon, where decades of placer mining left behind mounds of sediment that smothered salmon-bearing streams. <\/p>\n

Re-mining tailings also allows recovery of critical minerals, such as cobalt and rare earths, that earlier miners overlooked or lacked the technology to extract.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

But perhaps most importantly, the company\u2019s thrust is hinged on environmental restoration.<\/p>\n

\u201cSometimes days later, we\u2019ve had anadromous fish coming up to a site,\u201d Carly Vynne, the company\u2019s chief restoration officer and a biologist, told CBC. <\/p>\n

Vynne described how recontoured riverbeds and replanted vegetation have quickly brought fish back to once-barren creeks. To date, the firm has restored 1,825 meters of streams and 20 acres of upland habitat using proceeds from gold sales.<\/p>\n

For brands like Mejuri, partnering with Regeneration bridges environmental repair with consumer expectations. The jeweler also released its newest Salmon Gold collection last year. <\/p>\n

The company\u2019s mission has gained momentum as geopolitical and economic tensions send gold prices soaring. <\/p>\n

Analysts attribute the metal\u2019s record-breaking October rally to a wave of safe-haven demand triggered by worsening US-China trade tensions, including Beijing\u2019s expanded export restrictions on rare earth elements and Washington\u2019s threats of new tariffs and technology export controls. <\/p>\n

Gold first breached the US$4,000 mark on October 8, climbing steadily as investors fled volatile equity markets and a prolonged US government shutdown added to uncertainty.<\/p>\n

D\u2019Esposito acknowledges that while the environmental and commercial logic of re-mining is clear, the financial model is still evolving. <\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s no financial model that the market accepts for how you prove what\u2019s in your tailings,\u201d he said. \u201cInterestingly, it\u2019s not the business of the industry to mine waste.\u201d<\/p>\n

Still, with the gold market surging amid geopolitical turmoil and growing interest in ethically sourced metals, Regeneration\u2019s timing could hardly be better. <\/p>\n

\u201cWhen a mine closes, it doesn\u2019t have to be the end of the story,\u201d D\u2019Esposito emphasized.<\/p>\n
