With artisanal miners contributing large percentages to global production of a variety of commodities from gold to diamonds to cobalt — the fact is that they are a significant part of the resources industry.
Speaking with the Investing News Network (INN), chief risk officer at IN-D-Tel International Charles Dumbrille said that politicians in countries where large parts of the population work as artisanal miners wouldn’t want to ban the industry as it provides a livelihood to thousands.
Despite the livelihoods and the ways of life that artisanal (or informal) mining support, it throws up plenty of issues for the commercial mining industry.
