Defining Artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) has remained a point of difference as Hentschel et al (2003) admit, by then, that common definition of ASM had yet to be established. In some countries 'artisanal mining' is purely manual and on a very small scale, and 'small-scale mining' has some mechanization. In some countries, small-scale

The processing centres use a crude grind to liberate fine gold particles before processing, negatively affecting gold recovery. They use rudimentary methods to concentrate the gold, or they simply amalgamate the whole ore using copper-amalgamating plates (Fig. 1), or they grind the ore with mercury in small ball mills. The amalgamation …
