Formalizing artisanal and small-scale gold mining: A grand
The Minamata Convention mandates formalization of artisanal and small-scale gold mining to reduce mercury emissions and releases. In this article, we review the reasons why previous attempts to do this have largely failed, outline miner-centric approaches that are more likely to succeed, and estimate the likely costs of such approaches. We argue that The East Region of Cameroon is a crucial area for mining activities. Over the past 20 years, there has been growing research into the potential environmental impacts of artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM) in this region.Environmental impact of artisanal and small-scale gold mining

Does formalization make a difference in artisanal and small-scale gold
A Background Study On the Small-Scale Gold Mining Operations in Benguet and South Cotabato and Their Impact on the Economy (i.e., legalization), defined as formalization (e.g., geological data, mining equipment, and skills transfer programs), is vital. Challenges with formalizing artisanal and small-scale mining in Cameroon1. Introduction. Globally, it is acknowledged that artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM) has expanded dramatically in most low- and middle-income countries during the last decade due to increasing demand for valuable metals and the lucrative potential of gold coupled with the prevalence of poverty (Basu et al., 2015, Cossa et al., Assessing the safety and health practices in the artisanal and small

Since the ratification of the National Action Plan and the associated Artisanal Mining Gold Mining in Cameroon. The Cameroon government says that it has some 140 identified sites with gold deposits. Most of these deposits are situated in the eastern part of the country and are mainly mined by small-scale artisans who produce around 20,000 kilograms of gold per year. However, it is estimated that most of this gold is smuggled outCameroon Mining Africa

The objective of this research was the assessment of trace elements contamination in soil and stream sediments in an abandoned artisanal small-scale gold mining in Cameroon. Soils, stream sediments and mines wastes around the abandoned artisanal mine site were sampled and characterized.The first foreign small-scale gold mining compa ny was registered at Betare Oya in 2006 and the following year saw the arrival of 20 more companies (Weng, 2013).

Integrated Assessment of Artisanal and Small-Scale Gold Mining
This article is one of three synthesis reports resulting from an integrated assessment (IA) of artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM) in Ghana. Given the complexities that involve multiple drivers and diverse disciplines influencing ASGM, an IA framework was used to analyze economic, social, health, and environmental data and to This chapter provides a comparative review of the interfaces between artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM) and organized crime in Latin America and Africa, focusing on trafficking in persons (TIP) for sexual exploitation and forced labor, migrant smuggling, and money laundering.Links Between Artisanal and Small-Scale Gold Mining and

East Cameroon's artisanal and small-scale mining bonanza
In 2010, the government would enshrine in the Cameroon Mining Code a new category of license, 'small-scale mining', which permits a higher degree of mechanization and can be held for three yearsSmall-scale gold mining is a new development in Cameroon but we have heard anecdotal reports of similar patterns of development in several other African countries. Only two of the eight companies surveyed in the study reported in this paper are operated by Cameroonians; the balance is managed by foreign owners, with Cameroonian Asian investment at artisanal and small-scale mines in rural Cameroon

Estimation of Mercury Losses and Gold Production by Artisanal and Small
Abstract Artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM) utilizes mercury (Hg) for the extraction of gold (Au) and is responsible for the largest anthropogenic source of emissions and releases of Hg to the environment. Previous estimates of Hg use in ASGM have varied widely. In this effort, Hg losses in ASGM were derived from the difference In fact, small scale gold mining is an important source of income for both rural communities and drives economic development of the countries involved (Seccatore et al., 2014, Bashwira et al., 2014, Lghoul et al., 2014). However, it is a potential threat to the aquatic and terrestrial environment (soils, flora, fauna, air, water resources).Water quality assessment in the Bétaré-Oya gold mining

Impact of gold mining on the water quality of the lom river,
The Lom River draining the gold mining site was turbid (117–510 NTU) ( Table 1 and Figure 4 f). Tu values exceeded the limits of 5 and 4 NTU set by the World Health Organization, 2011, World Health Organization, 2017. 43.7% of the water samples had a turbidity higher than the total mean value (203.3 NTU).as artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM).

One of the main areas of OECD's work in the responsible sourcing of minerals is to ensure that international standards do not further marginalise workers of the informal sector.
