Peter W.U. Appel, Ore Geologist with more than 20 years experience in small-scale gold mining.

In the Spring of 2024, and at the age of 83, Peter Appel decided to retire from climbing mountains, crossing rivers and steep slopes to train small-scale gold miners all over the World.

However, his long-lasting partner, the small-scale miner and mill-owner, Leoncio D. Na-Oy will carry the torch further on.

Leoncio D. Na-Oy has more than 25 years of experience in mercury free gold extraction in The Philippines.

www.appelglobal.com will continue to share information on new projects and developments into minimizing the use of one of the World’s most toxic substances, Mercury.
