The Quest for Responsible Small-Scale Gold Mining
Document Actions
As currently practiced, artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) of metals can have destructive impacts on communities and the environment.

benefit to communities. A number of initiatives have sought to determine what those responsible practices should be and how they can be implemented.
