Artisanal Mining Formalization Platforms
Digital systems supporting small-scale miners with traceability, safety, and market access.

Artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) employs over 40 million people globally, often in dangerous, informal conditions. Formalization platforms provide digital identity, production tracking, safety training modules, equipment rental marketplaces, and links to responsible buyers. They improve livelihoods, reduce child labor and environmental harm, and integrate ASM into transparent supply chains.
