In small-scale mining that is legally and environmentally well-regulated, the scale of environmental impacts and risks should be smaller than in both large mines and ASM, although the risks are dependent on the mined metal, technologies and the use of chemicals. This usually implies lower harm for neighbouring housing, other livelihoods and ...
The report provides a comprehensive analysis of ASM's current state, including tools, techniques, and technologies across the mining life cycle, along with addressing crosscutting issues like monitoring and enforcement, occupational health and safety, access to finance, and access to information. Distinguishing between artisanal and small-scale mining, the study then examines …

Small-scale mining demonstrates remarkable resilience and adaptability in the face of environmental, economic, and regulatory challenges. Economic obstacles, such as the volatility of mineral prices and restricted access to credit, along with regulatory barriers like bureaucracy and complex laws, pose significant challenges.
The standard includes requirements for artisanal and small-scale mining organizations to conduct responsible mining operations, such as formal and legal mining practices, environmental protection, labor conditions, traceability of Fairmined minerals, and socioeconomic development through the Fairmined Premium. It also outlines market models and ...
This report champions the professionalization and social well-being of artisanal and small-scale miners, urging governments to play a leading role in regulating and supporting sustainable ASM practices to achieve national growth targets.
Small-scale mining has brought both major problems and immeasurable socio-economic benefits to a number of developing countries. In recent years, however, the bulk of research has been devoted to analyzing the negative as-pects of the industry.

Small-scale mining players need to be dissected further and the corresponding rules and regulations revised to reflect their scales, needs, and capacities. The agencies involved in small-scale mining in the
The World Bank envisions a world in which artisanal and small-scale mining is recognized as an important contributor to global development. In order to achieve this goal, we must work together to promote better sharing of knowledge and data. Join us in commitment to improve the quality, availability and accessibility of data in the ASM sector.

Projects that have a relatively low environmental impact and meet the eligibility criteria for a small-scale mining activity do not need an environmental authority and can operate under the Small-scale mining code (PDF, 257KB).. If you already have an environmental authority and meet the criteria, you can apply to surrender your environmental authority when you renew your …
The livelihoods of 130 to 270 million people depend on artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM), a labor-intensive method of mineral extraction. Based on geological mapping and gold price variations in a yearly panel of 10,628 fine-grained cells, we provide the first estimation of the environmental and wealth impacts of the main form of ASM, gold ...
