Artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) activities have contributed, in most cases, to the rural development of some African countries. Practically, these activities have influenced the environmental, health and socio-economic status. In essence, there is a need to investigate how these activities fuel poverty eradication in Africa.

The Minamata Convention mandates formalization of artisanal and small-scale gold mining to reduce mercury emissions and releases. In this article, we review the reasons why previous attempts to do this have largely failed, outline miner-centric approaches that are more likely to succeed, and estimate the likely costs of such approaches. We argue that Tanzania is the focus of this policy exposition paper because, aside from Ghana and South Africa, Tanzania is ranked 4th in Africa in terms of its mineral deposits and small-scale mining activities.(PDF) Artisanal and small-scale mining in Tanzania and

The mineral wealth of South Africa has been exploited by Homo sapiens for at least 40,000 years and has provided many and varied commodities including gold, platinum and diamonds. This chapter provides a historical perspective on minerals and mining mainly in South Africa, although it does occasionally stray across the borders into 1. Introduction. Artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) has grown to become the most important non-farm source of rural income in sub-Saharan Africa (Hilson et al., 2021a).The sector is a major source of production of many key minerals such as gold, diamonds, cobalt, tungsten and tantalum (Hilson, 2002; Byemba, 2020; Wakenge et al., Assessing the economics and finances of Artisanal and small-scale gold

Africa’s mineral industry is highly characterized by artisanal and small- scale mining (ASM) operations. This is so in areas producing gold, diamonds and precious/semi-precious stones. Specific Footnote 23 It is reported that of these, about 15,000 children are involved in premature work in the gold-mining sector. Footnote 24 Most of these children work in the informal sector and especially in artisanal and small-scale gold-mining sectors.

ASM has operated for centuries as a small unorganized and informal activity. For example, Allchin discusses small- and large-scale gold mining that operated in India from 100 BCE to 300 CE. Similarly, “folk” mining in Colombia was an important source of gold for Spain from the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries.The Chinese dominate the supply chain of illegal small-scale mining with their financial, technical, managerial acumen, the sale and transfer of gold proceeds, and political patronage. This dominance accounts for the massive negative social, economic, environmental, and political impact of illegal small-scale mining in the country.Golden Migrants: The Rise and Impact of Illegal Chinese Small‐Scale

Mercury (Hg) use in artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM) is globally the largest source of occupational health exposure to Hg. 1 In this type of mining, Hg is used to extract gold from its ore by forming an amalgam, which is then burnt, leaving the final gold product. 2,3 These extraction processes expose artisanal and small Mercury Exposure Among Artisanal and Small-Scale Gold
