Sep 17, 2018· More than 500 people participated in the International Conference on Artisanal and Smallscale Mining and Quarrying (ASM18) held in Livingstone Zambia, with the aim of sharing visions of sustainable development from that sector. The conference is expected to promote a global dialogue on the opportunities and challenges of ASM.
Overview of Artisanal and SmallScale Gold Mining Artisanal and smallscale gold mining (ASGM) is a term broadly used to describe the gold mining by individuals, families, or groups with minimal mechanization, often in the informal or illegal sector of the market [1]. ASGM occurs in over 70 developing countries [2].
The illegal extraction of gold involves destructive processes that devastate the Amazonian communities, their forests and their ecosystems. USAID works together with Government of Peru, local communities, Peruvian research organizations, private companies, and universities to address the threat of mining to the Amazon. The United States and Peru signed a Memorandum of
Jan 03, 2018· 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 gold.
Sep 17, 2015· To help increase understanding of such problems, and to enable consensusbuilding and effective translation of scientific findings to stakeholders, help inform policies, and ultimately improve decision making, we utilized an Integrated Assessment approach to study artisanal and smallscale gold mining activities in Ghana.

Artisanal and smallscale gold mining (ASGM) is the labourintensive extraction of gold using rudimentary technology. There are an estimated 15 million ASGM miners across the globe who produce 400–700 t of gold per year, and also release up to 1600 t of elemental mercury (Hg) into the environment (AMAP/UNEP, 2013).

An artisanal miner or smallscale miner (ASM) is a subsistence miner who is not officially employed by a mining company, but works independently, mining various minerals or panning for gold using their own resources. Smallscale mining includes enterprises or individuals that employ workers for mining, but generally using manuallyintensive methods, working with hand tools.
