Chapter 2 referred to formal, industrial or largescale mining (and also touched on the development mineral sector (see section 2.6), which is defined as primarily medium-scale mining). This chapter focuses on the other end of the spectrum of extractive industries, which is characterized by low technology and informality, while being mainly carried out largely by individuals and small groups. We call it the informal, artisanal and small-scale mining. The acronym ASM is widely used to refer to this type of mining practices, and will be used throughout this chapter.
