Artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) is common in mineral-rich locations in the developing world, generating a significant share of production for commodities such as gold.
The mineral sector, especially its small-scale subsector, has become significant in the emerging economies of the Global South. Tanzania is the focus of this policy exposition paper because, aside from Ghana and South Africa, Tanzania is ranked 4th in Africa in terms of its mineral deposits and small-scale mining activities.
Mineral Processing Our Mineral Processing Laboratories are fully equipped to perform all metallurgical investigations from bench scale to demonstration tests. The focus is on developing a practical and economical flow sheet for plant operation, whether it is by adapting known technologies to new situations or by developing a new process.
This report examines the potential for ASM to take an expanded role in the global supply of critical minerals as governments and industries scramble to meet demand driven by the adoption of low-carbon energy and digital technology. The ASM sector involves labour …

This study presents a picture of ASGM in Brazil and prospective numbers on mercury emissions and releases in 2016, when the country declared production of about 90 tonnes of gold, of which circa 25 tonnes came from ASGM. However, it is also necessary to consider the illegal production of ASGM which is estimated to vary between 10% and eight …
Abstract. Artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) takes place under extreme conditions with a lack of occupational health and safety. As the demand for metals is increasing due in part to their extensive use in 'green technologies' for climate change mitigation, the negative environmental and occupational consequences of mining practices are disproportionately felt in low- and …
The RG2500 will be capable of processing 250 t/h of feed. APT has also been asked to develop RG scrubber plants with diamond pans and jigs. The RG scrubbers are a process solution that increases the disintegration of placer and alluvial clays and releases bound minerals, normally for subsequent gravity concentration.
Artisanal and small-scale mining is also the source of the largest releases of mercury, estimated at 1,400 tonnes per year in 2011 according to the Minamata Convention. Exposure to mercury can have serious health impacts, including irreversible brain damage.

Figures on the percentage of artisanal miners who have fully formalized varies substantially, depending on which Ministry (Mines or Environmental) reports. In addition, most mineral deposits discovered by artisanal miners eventually find their way into the hands of mining companies or more skilled small-scale operators.
