Aubynn (2009) examined the issues that have arisen between small and large scale mining in Ghana, focusing on the Abosso Goldfields concession and highlights the efforts made by large-scale mining operators to accommodate the ASM sector. The conflicts that arise between small and large scale mining in Ghana have also been examined (Hilson, 2002a).

Small-scale gold mining in PNG has been carried out since the late 1800s.

In 30 countries in which mining affects large (>50 m wide) rivers, 23 ± 19% of large river length is altered by mining-derived sediment, a globe-spanning effect representing 35,000 river ...

Gold mining has been carried out in the former Gold Coast, now Ghana, for centuries (Ofosu-Mensah, 2011a). Artisanal gold mining started in the gold-rich areas long before modern large-scale gold mining (Hilson, 2002a) and was one of the mainstays of the numerous Akan states that developed in the forest belt of Ghana (Dumett, 1979, 1998; Kea, 1982).

In particular, we propose that the integration of the Community Mining Scheme as part of formalisation efforts of informal gold mining in Ghana not only responds to SDG 6 target 6b (participation of local communities in water management) but also has the potential to reverse the current large-scale mining 'bias' in policy, while addressing ...

University of Technology concerning large scale slope stability in open pit mining. The research project is aimed at increasing the knowledge regarding large scale slope stability and to develop a design methodology for large scale open pit slopes, with special application to the Aitik Mine in northern Sweden.

8 large dredges from 1932-1965, reaching a peak production of 8.5 tonnes per year in1942. The total gold production from 1922-1977 is estimated to be about 117 ... partnership with financiers to develop small-scale mining operations (both alluvial and hard rock). The concept is great, but there are problems associated with this type of

Incomes from large-scale mining are occasionally reinvested in small-scale mining activities; small-scale miners can be evicted and repressed, or conversely compensated and included in corporate social responsibility schemes; and miners often share the same spaces, with artisanal miners reworking residues on abandoned industrial sites (also ...

Alluvial mining has caused large tracts of land to be degraded in the PBMA; thus increasing erosion rate and river siltation. Interviewees indicate that traditional alluvial mining (dig and wash) does not destroy rivers or streams to a larger extent but the 'more blade form' of alluvial mining does so by creating massive destruction to ...
