| Abstract: | This article summarizes the proceedings of a United Nations organized international Seminar on Guidelines for Development of Small- and Medium-scale Mining, held in Harare, Zimbabwe, in February 1993. The meeting assessed progress in promoting and developing small- and medium-scale mining operations worldwide since the last United Nations conference on small-scale mining (Ankara, 1988). The meeting produced a set of guidelines for developing countries intended to provide a framework for encouraging development of small- and medium-scale mining as a sanctioned sustainable activity with recognizable contributions to economic and social goals. |
