Artisanal and SmallScale Mining occurs in approximately 80 countries worldwide There are approximately 100 million artisanal miners globally Artisanal and smallscale production supply accounts for 80% of global sapphire, 20% of gold mining and up to 20% of diamond mining It is widespread in developing countries in Africa, Asia, Oceania, and Artisanal mining Artisanal and smallscale mining (ASM) is a key risk at all operations in the Continental Africa region (CAR) except those in Namibia and Mali ASM poses a threat to safety and prevents operations from running smoothly The formulation and roll out of a regional ASM strategy is part of the CAR sustainability work planned for 2012Artisanal mining Supplementary information AngloGold Artisanal and smallscale mining (ASM) is largely an informal sector with limited available information on production, revenues, operations and even location of activities Regulation of the sector is often inadequate and its real contribution to a national Artisanal and smallscale mining Extractive Industries
Broadly speaking, artisanal and smallscale mining refers to mining by individuals, groups, families or cooperatives with minimal or no mechanization, often in Artisanal mining refers to mining with minimal technology and generally without formal organization, largely involving women, the vulnerable and the poorest and most vulnerable populations, and often in conflict zones in AfricaARTISANAL AND SMALL SCALE MINING (ASM) AND ABSTRACT Across subSaharan Africa, artisanal and smallscale mining (ASM) represents a major source of direct and indirect employment Yet, despite the livelihood benefits and the growing interest from governments, donors and policy makers to formalise ASM, most artisanal miners still operate informallyArtisanal mining and the rationalisation of informality
