Governance challenges of small-scale gold mining in Ghana:
The artisanal small-scale mining (ASM) sector commonly described as low-tech, labor-intensive mineral extraction and processing, in developing countries, is increasingly associated with the use of heavy earth moving machines and hazardous chemicals for ore extraction, which can have negative implications on agricultural land Ghana’s small-scale mining has evolved beyond the reach of current small-scale mining legislation. The formalization process enacted in the small-scale mining laws is ineffective because it is unable to capture the magnitude and complexity of what now encompasses Ghana’s small-scale gold industry.
