In this paper, we propose a system dynamics (SD) model to examine the dynamics of an informal artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM) supply chain that has interactions with the illegal gold supply chain in the Amazon rainforest region, Madre de Dios (MdD), Peru. In order to examine the system under climate impacts and validate the …

The World Gold Council and its members, the world's leading large-scale gold mining companies, support the responsible mining and trading of gold from all legitimate sources including ASGM. Unfortunately, however, the great majority of artisanal and small-scale gold mining occurs outside of legal frameworks and as such the sector …

1. Introduction. Artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM), characterized by rudimentary mining methods, low-grade ore, and limited ore production (Malehase et al., 2016), is attributed with releasing 37.7 % of anthropogenic emissions of mercury to the atmosphere (UN Environment, 2019).Because it is the largest …

Artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM) has long been practiced in Nigeria and around the world. Bolstered by historically high gold prices, a lack of viable alternative livelihoods, and a ready – if expensive – supply of mercury, there has been a resurgence of ASGM activities in northern Nigeria in recent years.

In artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM)1, a sector that employs approximately 15 million people around the world, mercury is often used to help extract gold from mined ore. Although inexpensive and relatively ef-fective in extracting gold from ore, mercury emissions and releases can cause serious harm to people and the

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. While ASGM exploration and production have typically been seen as risky investments ...

Areas identified as gold mining in the land cover classification model were further differentiated into two categories: large-scale, industrial mining and small-scale, artisanal mining. Industrial mining operations within the study period (2005–2019) were assumed to have a significant change in elevation because of the nature of the mining ...

Mercury‐based artisanal and small‐scale gold mining (ASGM) causes more mercury pollution than any other human activity. 1 In this practice, mercury metal is used to extract gold from ore as a stable amalgam. The amalgam is then heated to evaporate the mercury and isolate the gold. While mercury amalgamation has been …

Rises in gold prices since the early 2000s – US$ 8652/kg in Nov 2000 rising to US$60,688/kg in Dec 2020 (World Gold Council, 2021) – mean artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM) is very lucrative in Ghana (Osumanu, 2020). Together with the promise of rapid returns, this has encouraged many rural people to engage in it.

The Large Footprint of Small-Scale Mining in Ghana. People have been mining for gold in Ghana for centuries. Long before European colonists set foot in the area in the 1400s, Ghanaians looked for gold with pickaxes, shovels, and pans. They washed or "panned" for gold along river banks or dug holes on the surface to find deposits of gold ...
