About this book

This volume collates the proceedings of the Global Conference on Small and Medium Scale Mining held in Calcutta, which was convened to direct the spotlight of attention onto this vital segment of global mining industry. Interest in small-scale mining has been highlighted in recent years due to the increasing concern of its environmental impacts. This book aims to delve into the many dimensions of small and medium scale mining and to take stock of the emerging issues. By and large, the contributions relate to issues such as management vis-a-vis small scale mining focusing on environmental, health and safety, social and gender issues. The contributors offer solutions relating to small-scale mining which could form the basis of an agenda for action.
