This paper reflects critically on efforts to formalize artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) – low-tech, labour-intensive mineral extraction and processing – in Mozambique.
This comic book was produced by the planetGOLD Indonesia project for young audiences and as an educational tool for school teachers to use, raising awareness about the dangers of exposure to mercury used in artisanal and small-scale gold mining.
This study reveals that women are less recognized for their existence in ASGM. Undertaking a gender-sensitive situation analysis, including a barrier analysis, is a useful way to strengthen understanding of the context of marginalized actor in ASGM sector
With the results of these field researches, GOLD-ISMIA will develop a mobile application and a web portal database through which the estimation of the mercury avoided from the mercury-free processing units within the project locations can be monitored in a systematic way and on regular basis.
GOLD-ISMIA Project has come to understand that there are gender-based differences in the types of work women and men are engaged relating to ASGM, leading to gaps in the income they can earn, disparities in access to knowledge and technologies, and differences in the health risks they are exposed to.
Field research conducted by the GOLD-ISMIA project team at Buwun Mas and Kedaro villages at the Sekotong field location investigated the mass balance of Hg during amalgamation in a rod mill.
