The Challenge
Artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM)
Metron South Corporation Ltd understands that artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) is a major source of employment and income generation in many communities across Africa as well as other parts of the world, and we will champion and support efforts to improve the working conditions of legal ASM.
We believe ASM can grow to become large-scale mines and deliver greater prosperity if carried out responsibly and transparently. We applaud efforts by responsible sourcing initiatives and international organisations to enhance methods and processes that deter the risks of human rights violations in this industry. Metron South Corporation Ltd is open to working with stakeholders to address the poverty that leads to ASM.
