Country profiles of artisanal and small-scale ECRM mine production and processing developments

Selected country profiles shall be prepared for those African countries that have an artisanal and small-scale mining sector related to significant ECRM production. To the extent possible, the country profiles shall include reported or estimated artisanal and small-scale production or export data for relevant ECRM, combined with context information that is required to assess the plausibility of these data. Where possible, supply chain information shall be added as well. The profiles shall further provide information on the amenability of relevant national mineral deposit types with regards to artisanal exploitation and processing techniques.
