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 Eureka is a modern gold mine designed to produce up to 70,000oz of gold per annum from an open pit operation. Operations were suspended in 2000 due to high costs and low gold prices. The mine is Gold mining in Zimbabwe

Over the past three decades, the global appetite for gold has continued to grow, driven by increased consumer demand from Asia and soaring investor demand following spiking gold prices. 6 Artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM) is prevalent in at least 64 countries (Figure 1).The estimated number of ASGM miners increased from This article is a critical examination of socio-cultural factors and dynamics and the extent to which they inflect gender roles in small-scale gold mining (SSGM) in north-eastern Ghana.

Although headlines of fatal accidents in ZimbabweThe chemical, which has been used in mining for over 3,000 years, does not degrade in the environment. Research shows that forest canopies near small-scale gold mining sites can intercept and accumulate large volumes of atmospheric mercury pollution. This means mercury can build up and be passed along the food chain.Ending the toxic trail of small-scale gold mining UNEP

The Government has identified Artisanal and Small-scale Gold Mining (ASGM) as a vehicle for attaining social-economic development. However, the sector remains largely informal with several technical-economic challenges. In this paper, an ASGM strategy has been developed and proposed. The strategy advances the concept of a 1. Introduction. In a global context, artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) is critical in poverty reduction. The ASM sector is a viable pathway for creating sustainable livelihoods and poverty alleviation initiatives, specifically in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) (Osumanu, 2020, p. 209; Mhangara et al., 2020).According to estimations, at least 40 Towards a sustainable artisanal gold mining sector in South

Mercury-dependent artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM) is the largest source of mercury pollution on Earth. In this practice, elemental mercury is used to extract gold from ore as an amalgam. The amalgam is typically isolated by hand and then heated—often with a torch or over a stove—to distill the mercury and isolate the goldSmall-scale gold mining technologies: two examples of new practices. In small-scale gold mining, innovation is synonymous with improvement. The improvement may entail increased efficiency and economic benefits of a particular technique, but also a cleaner and less environmentally impactful one.

In the recent years, there has been a surge in artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM) in various districts of Malawi. Reports of a gold rush have emerged in various districts, including Mangochi, Lilongwe, Balaka, and lately in Kasungu. There has been persistence by many indigenous communities participating in ASGM activities, yet mining sustainability; artisanal small-scale gold mining; Hg-free. 1. Introduction. The concept of “sustainable mining operations” is based on the efficiency of operations and rigorous mine planning and adherence to the plan to ensure maximum efficiency. In most cases, small-scale mining (SSM) fails to employ proper mine planning.Mapping the Reality of Hg-Free Artisanal Small-Scale Gold Mining

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
