· Artisanal smallscale gold mining (ASGM) operations use mercury liberally in the gold extraction process and account for approximately one quarter of the anthropogenic mercury consumption worldwide. ASGM activities are concentrated in many impoverished and poorly regulated countries such as Zimbabwe, resulting in a number of negative impacts to health and the environment. To examine .
Artisanal and smallscale gold mining (ASGM) represents one of the most hazardous work environments. While formalization of this sector has been suggested (, Minamata Convention) as a means to improve working conditions, we are unaware of empirical evidence that supports this notion. This study aimed to compare sociodemographic profiles, work profiles, and injury rates among miners .
The Mtandazo Women Miners Association is made up of 32 smallscale miners and its members have received training on the fundamentals of mining from the Zimbabwe School of Mines. Women miners are strongly encouraged to register and regularise their mining operations, which enables them to have access to loans and possibly equipment that opens up new opportunities.

Artisanal smallscale gold mining occupies approximately 20% of the total surface area, which is 564 km 2 (Dreschler 2001). Most people in this area have diversified to gold panning to sustain their livelihoods, making the area more vulnerable to associated risks. Land degradation experienced in the Umzingwane and Insiza rivers caused siltation ...

On the other hand, largescale mining utilizes simple to sophisticated mining technology and machinery to mine and process ore. Overview and Scale. Africa''s mineral industry is highly characterized by artisanal and small scale mining (ASM) operations. This is so in areas producing gold, diamonds and precious/semiprecious stones.
Smallscale gold mining increased phenomenally in Zimbabwe with the liberalisation of the economy in the early 1990s when the Government of Zimbabwe adopted the Economic Structural Adjustment Programme in 1991. It was initially concentrated along the Great Dyke which stretches from southwest to northeast across the Zimbabwean plateau but it later spread to all regions of the country due to the ...
Historically, mercury was used extensively in placer gold mining in order to form mercurygold amalgam with smaller gold particles, and thereby increase the gold recovery rates. Largescale use of mercury stopped in the 1960s. However, mercury is still used in artisanal and smallscale gold mining (ASGM), often clandestine, gold prospecting.

The Mercury Problem in Artisanal Gold Mining. Mercury‐based artisanal and small‐scale gold mining (ASGM) causes more mercury pollution than any other human activity. 1 In this practice, mercury metal is used to extract gold from ore as a stable amalgam. The amalgam is then heated to evaporate the mercury and isolate the gold.
Artisanal and smallscale mining (ASM) includes 20–30 million people worldwide, with three to five times that number indirectly supported through their activities.
