Artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) in Global Supply Chains . It is needless to say that artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) is of significant importance for sourcing valuable minerals and geological …
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. Here, a …

Abstract Artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM) utilizes mercury (Hg) for the extraction of gold (Au) and is responsible for the largest anthropogenic source of emissions and releases of Hg to the environment. Previous estimates of Hg use in ASGM have varied widely. In this effort, Hg losses in ASGM were derived from the difference …

While these mines are small, they are significant contributors to local development and the global gold market. Of all the gold extracted around the world each year, 15 per cent comes from small-scale mines. Ninety per cent of the global gold mining workforce, around 10 to 15 million people, work in ASGM. In turn, these workers indirectly ...

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 …
Methane emissions from coal mining are well studied and expected to reach approximately 784 Mt of CO 2-equivalent (CO 2 e) by 2030 1.However, since coal mining itself is being directly targeted in ...
The idea that artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) is actually not small is the theme of a recent commentary in The Lancet Respiratory Medicine (Burki, 2019). It cites commonly reported global estimates of 40 million people in 80 countries (IISD, 2017 ), as compared to the approximately 7 million people in "industrial mining."
Mining operations can be an important contributor in lower-income economies yet companies in the sector have well documented negative impacts. These range from biodiversity loss and pollution, to human rights concerns such as the displacement of communities, and financial corruption. GRI's draft Mining Standard reflects the likely …
The artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM) sector is severely undercapitalized. The amount of money invested in each unit of gold produced by artisanal and small-scale miners is vastly lower than that available for the industrial formal gold mining sector. ... Artisanal and small-scale mining accounts for 20 percent of the global supply ...
Mining continues to be a dangerous activity, whether large-scale industrial mining or small-scale artisanal mining. Not only are there accidents, but exposure to dust and toxins, along with stress from the working environment or managerial pressures, give rise to a range of diseases that affect miners. I look at mining and health from various …
Here we present a new dataset that improves global mining land use accounting by significantly expanding our previous global-scale dataset of mining sites 21, 23. The data update includes 44,929 ...
Globally, artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM) is the largest source of anthropogenic mercury emissions (37.7%), followed by stationary combustion of coal (21%). Other large sources of emissions …
Artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) is a primarily informal economic sector that includes workers around the globe who use their hands, basic tools and low-tech equipment to extract from the earth vital metals such as cobalt, tin, tungsten and tantalum, as well as gold, diamonds, gemstones, coal and more. Artisanal miners are also involved ...
Guinea's artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM) sector is valued at $300 million, supporting over 240,000 livelihoods. However, this comes at a cost – more than 42 tons of mercury are used by the country's artisanal miners annually. ... from mine to market.
