hand, mining activities can cause
severe social and environmental
impacts, on the other, small-scale
mining has significant potential for
low-energy, efficient production of
materials for a green economy, and for
returning income to families and local
economies. Some governments are
attempting to formalise this kind of
mining as a result.
But while the international community
wants to halt mercury pollution and
tackle small-scale mining’s links to
conflict, their actions can inadvertently
exclude legitimate small producers
from the global market.
