Largescale mining operations, especially those using openpit mining techniques, can result in significant deforestation through forest clearing and the construction of roads which open remote forest areas to transient settlers, land speculators, and smallscale miners.
Artisanal and smallscale mining, or ASM, is a largely informal economic sector that includes workers around the world who use basic tools to extract from the earth everything from gold and gemstones to vital metals such as cobalt, tin, tungsten and tantalum. ASM is important for several reasons.
However, the majority populace, particularly those engaged in artisan gold mining and a small proportion of the inhabitants close to mined areas are unaware of the dangers posed by the activities of small scale gold miners and that their activities has been ranked the second largest source of environmental
Smallscale gold mining in southern Ecuador is causing considerable environmental impacts, the most important of which are related to the discharge of metals, metalloids and cyanide into adjacent rivers.
Environmental impacts of mining can occur at local, regional, and global scales through direct and indirect mining practices. Impacts can result in erosion, sinkholes, loss of biodiversity, or the contamination of soil, groundwater, and surface water by the chemicals emitted from mining processes. These processes also have an impact on the atmosphere from the emissions of carbon which have
Impact of SmallScale Mining Operations on Economies and Livelihoods in Low to MiddleIncome Countries iii Executive Summary This report of the East Africa Research Fund (EARF) project Understanding the Economic Contribution of Smallscale Mining in East Africa addresses the first of three main objectives of the Terms of Reference, namely to conduct an overarching synthesis to
Smallscale gold mining in southern Ecuador is causing considerable environmental impacts, the most important of which are related to the discharge of metals, metalloids and cyanide into adjacent rivers. In the rivers, these contaminants are generally not present in watersoluble forms, but are instead associated with suspended particles and river bed sediment. However, elevated levels in

This is why Pact partnered with the University of Delaware, to develop Mapping Artisanal and Smallscale Mining to the Sustainable Development Goals the first report assessing the relationships between ASM and all 17 SDGs, which is now freely available online.
Mineral exploitation contributes significantly to economic growth and development in most world economies. In Africa, Ghana is the second largest gold producer, contributing to about % of the countrys GDP. The mining sector in Ghana consists of both smallscale and largescale mining, each of which has varying environmental impacts. This paper provides an exposition on the environmental

Despite the interesting insight provided by these studies on the environmental consequences and smallscale mining, ironically, neither of them clearly analyse environmental consequences emphasising on implications on rural

Pact and the University of Delawares Mapping Artisanal and Smallscale Mining to the Sustainable Development Goals (ASMSDG Policy Assessment) is the first report assessing all positive and negative relationships between artisanal and smallscale mining (ASM) and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Artisanal and smallscale mining is a largely informal economic sector that includes workers around the globe who use their hands, basic tools such as picks and shovels and lowtech equipment such as bulldozers and more mechanized equipment to extract from the earth vital metals such as cobalt, tin, tungsten and tantalum, as well as gold, diamonds, gemstones, coal and more.
