2.57 per cent, 0.42 per cent and 0.03 per cent. The prevalent methods of mining in the country are underground and open-pit mining. Alluvial mining is also popular in the small-scale gold sub-sector. Following a period of general economic decline in the 1970s to mid-1980s, Ghana's mining industry recovered on the back of market-based

Today, the alluvial sapphire deposits are still actively mined. Although small-scale mining still prevails in these areas, Potentate Mining's large mechanized operations with heavy investment could change the dynamic of sapphire mining in the Rock Creek area (figure 25). Meanwhile, sapphire tourism is quite important to the local economy.

 — Cabinet noted that since its commencement in 2011 across the country's rural provinces, large-scale and mechanical alluvial mining, or riverbed mining, has resulted in water pollution, siltation, degradation of river channels, and disruption of riverine ecosystems. Cabinet directed that riverbed mining be banned with immediate effect ...

 — Alluvial mining has caused large tracts of land to be degraded in the PBMA; thus increasing erosion rate and river siltation. Interviewees indicate that traditional alluvial mining (dig and wash) does not destroy rivers or streams to a larger extent but the 'more blade form' of alluvial mining does so by creating massive destruction to ...

Small-scale, or alluvial, mining is a reserved activity in Papua New Guinea, meaning it is reserved for Papua New Guineans only. While the sector doesn't receive the attention and support that large scale mining receives, there is clear potential, as Javia's award-winning project demonstrates.

Large scale alluvial mining operations closed in Bulolo. Male miners were dominant. Few women started to go into the field, observed and copied from male miners. And they got help from some sympathetic miners and started mining themselves. 1970s, 1980s, 1990s.
