The environmental impact assessment by the Leopold matrix and the Fecteau grid reveal that the environmental impacts of mining activities are mainly negative and manifested by deforestation, degradation of water and soil quality, and high risks to human health. These impacts have a major absolute importance.

The solution strips away the gold and is collected in a pond, then run through an electro-chemical process to extract the gold. This method of producing gold is cost effective but enormously wasteful: 99.99 percent of the heap becomes waste. Gold mining areas are frequently studded with these immense, toxic piles.

Artisanal mining is associated with a number of environmental impacts, including deforestation and land degradation, open pits which pose animal traps and health hazards, and heavy metals contamination of land (water and soil), dust and noise pollution.

Artisanal gold mining is a growing threat to savanna biodiversity conservation (Bruner et al 2001, Cabeza et al 2019).In Africa (Ghana, Madagascar, Zimbabwe), efforts have been made to manage challenges emanating from the need to mine within protected areas with minimal success (Gandiwa and Gandiwa 2012, Owusu-Nimo et al 2018, Cabeza et al …

Over the past 20 years, there has been growing research into the potential environmental impacts of artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM) in this region. Both in the short and long term, this type of mining can generate numerous health, environmental and socioeconomic impacts that can be measured using diverse methods.

From 2008 to early 2017, the third phase of gold mining in Ghana witnessed a significant upsurge in small-scale mining activities due to the escalating gold prices (Hausermann et al., 2018; Barenblitt et al., 2021). This era marked a significant environmental impact as advanced technology such as excavators and wash plants were introduced ...

Several researchers have documented the environmental and socio-economic impacts of gold mining in other countries [5–8]. However, due to research specialization and discipline-specific worldviews, seldom does research integrate the natural and social dimensions of the impacts of gold mining in a single paper [8,9].

A key element of the Environmental Impact Assessment [EIA] process will focus on the impact of mine development and operations on water resources and the associated water environments.

"Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) Study" means a systematic study conducted to determine whether or not a project will have any adverse impacts on the environment as stipulated in section 58 of EMCA, 1999 and Regulations 11 to 17 of the Environmental (Impact Assessment and Audit) Regulations, 2003.
