We are a global platform dedicated to support and advocate for artisanal and small-scale mining and quarrying (ASM) operators on the international stage. Our aim is to ensure our voices as miners are at the centre of decision-making processes that directly impact the ASM sector.
Our members consist of global ASM associations, each committed to championing the rights and interests of miners. Together, we work to address both existing and emerging challenges with the sector, while promoting the positive environmental, social, and economic contributions of ASM. Our goal is to strengthen mineral security - ensuring a sufficient and affordable access by all people to minerals necessary for human security including shelter, sustenance, energy, mobility and communication.
