Artisanal Mining in Ghana

Ghana has a very developed artisanal mining. What is commendable is that many of miners know how to separate gold without using mercury. They are gold panning the concentrates by using traditional pots or bowls made of wood or other materials. Often miners work in teams and become very efficient. Their gold washing sluices are for one century of development better than those what may be found in East Africa.
