An artisanal miner or small-scale miner (ASM) is a subsistence miner who is not officially employed by a mining company, but works independently, mining minerals using their own resources, usually by hand. Small-scale mining includes enterprises or individuals that employ workers for mining, but generally still using manually-intensive methods, working with hand tools.

dbo:abstract
  • An artisanal miner or small-scale miner (ASM) is a subsistence miner who is not officially employed by a mining company, but works independently, mining minerals using their own resources, usually by hand. Small-scale mining includes enterprises or individuals that employ workers for mining, but generally still using manually-intensive methods, working with hand tools. Artisanal miners often undertake the activity of mining seasonally – for example crops are planted in the rainy season, and mining is pursued in the dry season. However, they also frequently travel to mining areas and work year-round. There are four broad types of ASM: permanent artisanal mining, seasonal (annually migrating during idle agriculture periods), rush-type (massive migration, pulled often by commodity price jumps), and shock-push (poverty-drive, following conflict or natural disasters). ASM is an important socio-economic sector for the rural poor in many developing nations, many of whom have few other options for supporting their families. Over 90% of the world's mining workforce are ASM. There are an estimated 40.5 million men, women and children directly engaged in ASM, from over 80 countries in the global south. 20% of the global gold supply is produced by the ASM sector, as well as 80% of the global gemstone and 20% of global diamond supply, and 25% of global tin production. More than 150 million depend on ASM for their livelihood. 70 - 80% of small-scale miners are informal, and approximately 30% are women, although this ranges in certain countries and commodities from 5% to 80%.

  • Garimpo, também chamado de faiscação e cata, é a denominação que se dá à atividade econômica de mineração de cunho artesanal. Consiste numa atividade extrativista — que pode ser rudimentar ou mecanizada — de substâncias minerais como o ouro, diamantes ou outros tipos de minérios. O garimpo é uma forma de extrair riquezas minerais utilizando-se, na maioria das vezes, poucos recursos, baixo investimento, equipamentos simples e ferramentas rústicas. Tal exploração de minérios, geralmente valiosos, por meios mecânicos, pneumáticos, manuais e/ou animais, em alguns casos é regulamentada, mas majoritariamente feita sem nenhum planejamento e com a utilização de técnicas consideradas predatórias. A atividade do garimpo pode ser desenvolvida a céu aberto nos aluviões ou rochas mineralizadas aflorantes, ou ainda em galerias escavadas na rocha. Mesmo feito o devido tratamento do meio antes, durante e no pós-mineração, o garimpo, dada a baixa intensidade de capital, é considerada uma atividade de predação ambiental e socioeconômica. (pt)
