Karen Hayes
Technical director, Mines to Markets Initiative, Pact
“When large-scale mining (LSM) operations move in to do their exploration, they will often follow the traces and tracks of where artisanal miners have been. When the LSM find a concession they are hoping to work on, they have hundreds of thousands of artisanal miners already there, who feel entitled to those minerals and feel they have a claim to those minerals. The negotiation involved in coming to some sort of a peaceful solution for that site is extremely important.”
