The Chinese government will close at least 2,000 small coal mines over the next two years, the State Council said in a statement on Saturday. China has some 12,000 operating coal mines and the closures will target coal mines with annual output of less than 90,000 tonnes and those with substandard quality coal or have bad safety records.

Artisanal and small-scale miners from Colombia, Peru, Bolivia and Honduras share their personal stories, raising awareness on their challenges, needs, benefits and opportunities of the mining activity and its impact on their lives and those of their families, communities and territories.
Small Scale Mining. ASM refers to the “low-tech, labour intensive mineral extraction and processing found across the developing world” (Hilson and McQuilken, 2014), encompassing varying degrees of formality and legality, characterised by “low levels of environmental, health and safety awareness” (Hilson, 2002: 4), and usually located in remote rural areas (Hilson, 2002).
According to a 2011 WB estimate, there are about 1,200 small-scale mining groups in GB. Artisanal high-altitude mining, organised around collective responsibility, is a source of livelihood for
Coal "mines" somewhat depend on the region of the country. In Appalachia, the railroad connection could be anything from a processing plant on the large scale to a small mine or just a loader where dump trucks bring their coal for transfer to the railroad.
Innovation plays a critical role in the mining industry as a tool to improve the efficiency of its processes, to reduce costs, but also to meet the increasing social and environmental concerns among communities and authorities. Technological progress has also been crucial to allow the exploitation of new deposits in more complex scenarios: lower ore grades, extreme weather conditions, deeper

Artisanal and Small-Scale Mining occurs in approximately 80 countries worldwide. There are approximately 100 million artisanal miners globally. Artisanal and small-scale production supply accounts for 80% of global sapphire, 20% of gold mining and up to 20% of diamond mining. It is widespread in developing countries in Africa, Asia, Oceania

Globally, artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) provides subsistence for more than 100 million people – including workers and families across the ASM value chain. ASM is mining carried out by individuals, using hand tools and basic extraction methods. It is often dangerous, particularly as women and children sometimes take part.

Artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM), which refers to mining with minimal or no mechanization often in the informal sector, has increasingly captured the interest of governments, international organizations, and private corporations because of its growing role in national economies and its impacts on society and the environment. The artisanal mining sector also provides new opportunities

A version of this small-scale mining persists—known today as artisanal mining—but new research shows it is having a growing and sometimes devastating effect on the environment. Researchers from NASA, U.S. universities, and government agencies in Ghana recently used satellite data to estimate the extent of vegetation lost to artisanal mining

Artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) Back to ESG A-Z. We recognise that artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) is a source of employment and income generation in many countries and we support efforts to improve the operating conditions of legal ASM. We believe ASM can co-exist alongside large-scale mining (LSM) when carried out responsibly

Large scale earth moving equipment is used to excavate and remove coal from lower layers. The equipment used depends on the method and scale of the surface mining method being employed. Regrading begins as coal excavation continues. Once coal removal is complete, final regrading takes place and the area is revegetated.
