SMALL SCALE MINING IN GHANA Minerals Commission
ASM is a significant sub sector providing livelihood for millions; ASM has contributed significantly to poverty reduction and stimulate economic growth in the local communities ASM is the supplier of minerals for the Jewelry Industry in Ghana Serve as Precursors to Large Scale Exploration Companies (Pathfinders)In Ghana, over one million people are employed in the smallscale gold, diamond, sandwinning and quarry industries as compared to LargeScale Mining (LSM) sector which employed just 29,000 people (Minerals Commission, 2013)Smallscale mining policies in Ghana: Miners ScienceDirect
Governance challenges of smallscale gold mining in Ghana:
Focusing on Ghana as a study case, this paper explores the factors that hinder the implementation of its legal framework for mining A combination of qualitative explorative methods was applied, including an innovative tool called “Process NetMap”, a visual participatory mapping techniqueIn Ghana, artisanal and smallscale 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 people and supporting approximately 45 million moreArtisanal and smallscale gold mining in Ghana

Unlike largescale mining, artisanal and smallscale mining conventionally involves the use of less mechanized tools and equipment to extract gold and diamond with less regulatory attention Moreover, many unskilled workforces are involved in ASM for income and economic sustenance (Bansah, 2019)The sale and transportation of smallscale mining machinery by the galamsey is not questioned by law enforcement either because of the limited presence of the registered smallscale sector and the resulting legitimacy of the smallscale mining equipment depot A similar phenomenon was observed with the use of mercurySmallscale mining in Ghana: The government and the

Though formal gold mining has now come to dominate gold mining in Ghana, a significant part of the gold output comes from artisanal and smallscale mining (ASM) The sector’s contribution to the national gold production has increased steadily from 22 per cent in 1989 to about 34 per cent in 2014 (Ghana Chamber of Mines, 2014) 1r e s e n t n d u t u r e the remoteness, inaccessibility and geographicallyscattered nature of SmallScale Mining operations; security threat to officers; illegal mining and no records on pitArtisanal and SmallScale Gold Mining in Ghana
