Artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) is an important source of livelihood for millions of people in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), though it is small in its contribution to the total mineral production but employs a larger number of people in rural communities than large-scale mining activities do (Hilson and McQuilken 2014).It is reported that over 25 million people in …
Mining is a notoriously dangerous occupation.

Artisanal and small-scale mining is a type of mining that is extensively carried out in the rural areas of Nigeria. Minerals are mined in this type using simple tools and equipment on a small scale (Bradshaw, 1997; Hruschka, 2011). This practice is an informal sector, which is outside the legal and regulatory framework (Azubike, 2011).
According to Section 7 of the Act, the NMCO shall open a series of files known as Mining Cadastre Office Register, to wit: (a) a register of Reconnaissance Permits; a register of Exploration Licenses; a register of Mining Leases; a register of Small-scale Mining Leases; (e) a register of the Water Use Permits; and (f) a register of Quarry Leases.
Artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) takes place under extreme conditions with a lack of occupational health and safety. As the demand for metals is increasing due in part to their extensive use in 'green technologies' for climate change mitigation, the negative environmental and occupational consequences of mining practices are disproportionately felt in …
Unregistered small-scale miners are those who engage in mining extractions and/or processing ores without having a mining license to operate and they often work on mineral concessions owned by large-scale mining companies without their permission, on people's land, and in areas prohibited for mining (Amankwah and Anim-Sackey, 2003).
