  • Can artisanal and small-scale mining be formalized in Mozambique?
  • This paper reflects critically on efforts to formalize artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) ¨C low-tech, labour-intensive mineral extraction and processing ¨C in Mozambique.
  • Who funded forming small-scale mining in rural Mozambique?
  • Funding for this research was provided by the International Growth Centre, under the grant Formalizing Small-Scale Mining in Rural Mozambique: Issues, Challenges and Ways Forward (MOZ-19016). The authors would like to thank all of the interviewees for taking time out of their busy schedules to participate in the research.
  • Are small-scale miners legally allowed to work in Manica Province?
  • Moreover, 200 individual small-scale miners were interviewed at three ¡®designated areas¡¯ ¨C Munyena, Tsetsera and Mimosa ¨C in Manica Province. Some of the miners interviewed were in possession of an artisanal mining license (Senha Mineira) and therefore legally authorized to work in these zones, whilst others were not.
  • Is Mozambique a world-class coal producer?
  • The company¡¯s arrival has transformed Mozambique into a world-class coal producer: in 2017, output was in the range of 11,300,000 tonnes (BGS, 2019). Finally, and perhaps most significantly, there is the more than 180 trillion cubic feet of natural gas discovered in the offshore Rovuma Basin since 2010 (Salimo et al., 2020).
  • Does Mozambique have a strong ASM sector?
  • Despite boasting one of the most dynamic ASM economies in the Southern African Development Community (SADC), Mozambique has been heavily overlooked in regional assessments of the sector.
  • How do I get a mining certificate in Mozambique?
  • The Good Practices Handbook for Artisanal and Small Scale Mining in Mozambique (Government of Mozambique, 2017), for example, states that ¡®The request for a Certificado Mineiro is submitted to the Instituto Nacional de Minas (INAMI) or to the Provincial Directorate of Mining and Energy Resources (DPREME)¡¯ (p.
