The artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM) sector is responsible for 20% of annual gold production
globally – over 400 tons emerging from over 70 nations. 1 This represents a value of approximately $20B
and a work force of 15 million miners.
The sector has historically attracted limited investment, due to
stigmas and realities surrounding the informality of the
workforce, seemingly unnavigable land rights policies, challenging
trade and transport logistics, and – in some cases – links to
conflict groups.
