Small-scale mining policies in Ghana: Miners ScienceDirect

In Ghana, over one million people are employed in the small-scale gold, diamond, sand-winning and quarry industries as compared to Large-Scale Mining (LSM) sector which employed just 29,000 people (Minerals Commission, 2013).In reality, “small-scale” mines and “galamsey” mines are indistinguishable in the operation. Therefore, many Ghanaians and some scholars choose to use the term “galamsey” as a catch-all for any Ghanaian small-scale miner or mining venture.

Artisanal and small-scale gold mining in Ghana

In Ghana, artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) has grown in size and significance. Its contribution to wealth creation, employment and the economy makes it one of the nation’s most important livelihood activities, employing an estimated one million In the recent years, there has been a surge in artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM) in various districts of Malawi.

Some of the poorest people in the world's poorest countries eke out a living in artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM). Equipped with primitive tools like picks, shovels, buckets, and gold pans, Socio-demographic characteristics of miners have been identified to play an important role in determining the distribution of costs and benefits in the mining sector. This study aims at providing an overview of the nature of the artisanal small-scale mining (ASM) sector in Ghana by focusing on the socio-economic characteristics of miners and Socio-demographic attributes of artisanal small-scale miners

Injuries among Artisanal and Small-Scale Gold Miners in Ghana

Artisanal and small-scale gold miners are confronted with numerous hazards often resulting in varying degrees of injuries and fatalities. In Ghana, like many developing countries, there is paucity of information on the causes and nature of the accidents that result in the injuries. The study was a retrospective, cross sectional type Mercury levels (µg/g) in hair samples of miners and non-miners from across Ghana. For a given population (see key below), the bars represent the measured range while the circles represent the mean. Lines represent the WHO guideline value of 10 μg/g for mercury in hair [ 40 ], and 0.5 μg/g, the average mercury concentration in hair for Integrated Assessment of Artisanal and Small-Scale Gold Mining in Ghana

Perception of Small-Scale Miners on Interventions to Eradicate Illegal

In Ghana, and similar to other countries in sub-Saharan Africa, the major environmental problems associated with ASM activities are mercury pollution from gold processing, pollution of water bodies, and the destruction of natural and agricultural lands (Amankwah, 2013; Clifford, 2017; Nartey et al., 2011).These problems are as the results Two scales of gold mining operations, artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) and large-scale mining, have operated side by side in Ghana for decades.
