Welcome / Introduction

• Objective of the ASM Hub:

– To share experiences on innovative models to build secure, transparent and sustainable conflict-free supply chains of gold from artisanal and small-scale gold mine sites, including through country-specific projects operationalising Appendix 1 of the Supplement on Gold

• Objectif du Pôle Artisanat Minier:

– S’inspirer d’expériences innovantes pour inscrire les exploitations minières artisanales et à petite échelle dans des chaînes d’approvisionnement sûres, transparentes, durables et vérifiables, notamment via la mise en oeuvre opérationnelle, au niveau étatique, de l’Appendice 1 du Supplément sur l’or (cibles : parties prenantes du secteur de l’or exclusivement)

Appendix 1 - Creating opportunities

for artisanal and small-scale miners

• The Guidance assumes that legitimate ASM has a key role to play to drive sector-wide change and focuses on means to create market based opportunities for value-creation and calls for governments, IGO, donors, companies in the supply chain, and civil society organisations to explore collaborative ways not to exclude ASM from supply chains.

• The Appendix to the Gold Supplement to the OECD Due Diligence Guidance offers an agreed roadmap to enable market access through collaborative efforts of all actors involved and to create economically viable development opportunities for artisanal and small-scale miners. The appendix invites stakeholders to:

– Assess the sector and the supply chain for conflict-related risks

– Formalise and legalise ASM

– Establish traceability and secure CoC systems and corridors

– Provide financial support for Appendix implementation

– Promote and foster ASM gold

Annexe 1 - Créer des opportunités

pour les artisans miniers

• Le Guide part du principe que les AM responsables ont un rôle clé et moteur à jouer dans la transformation de l’ensemble du secteur et dans l’accès à de nouveaux marchés source de création de valeur. Les gouvernements, les organisations intergouvernementales, les donateurs, les entreprises de la chaîne d’approvisionnement et les représentants de la société civile sont invités à étudier des solutions communes pour éviter l’exclusion des AM des chaînes d’approvisionnement.

• L’appendice au Supplément sur l’or du Guide OCDE sur le devoir de diligence propose une feuille de route concertée pour permettre à l’ensemble des parties prenantes de joindre leurs forces, d’améliorer leur accès au marché et, ainsi, de créer des opportunités de développement économique viable pour les AM. L’appendice encourage les parties prenantes à :

– Evaluer les risques liés aux situations de conflit dans le secteur et dans les chaînes d’approvisionnement

– Formaliser et légaliser le secteur des AM

– Etablir la traçabilité et consolider les chaînes de contrôle et leurs canaux

– Soutenir financièrement la mise en œuvre de l’Appendice

– Promouvoir et encourager l’achat d’or produit par des AM

Mining activity under a legal title

Objective: Support SSM to work under a legal framework

• Decree 933 of 2013 allows informal miners in an untitled area to ask for a formal title for their operation with more flexible requirements than those necessary for regular mining

• If SSM are within the area of an existing mining title, the Ministry and the NAM will promote an agreement between the title holder and the SSM

• Special mining areas

Progress

Page 31: ASM Hub/ Pôle Artisanat Minier - OECD.org · Welcome / Introduction • Objective of the ASM Hub: –To share experiences on innovative models to build secure, transparent and sustainable

Page 37: ASM Hub/ Pôle Artisanat Minier - OECD.org · Welcome / Introduction • Objective of the ASM Hub: –To share experiences on innovative models to build secure, transparent and sustainable

Final remarks

♦ Colombia is at the beginning on the road to SSM formalization

♦ New legislation is needed to strengthen a differential approach to distinguish SSM vs. Large Scale Mining

♦ New approach to work with Indigenous and Afro-Colombian communities in ethnic mining areas

♦ Public-private partnerships and community involvement creates higher value

♦ Colombia is in the process to engage international initiatives in order to promote higher standards and better practices on SSM

♦ How to differentiate between informal and illegal mining?

Due diligence on gold produced by

artisanal and small-scale miners

• Risk assessment for ASM gold is more flexible because retrospectively (i.e. “top-down”) tracing ASM gold can be very challenging

• Companies that source ASM gold are expected to “assist and enable Legitimate Artisanal and Small-Scale Mining producers to build secure, transparent and verifiable gold supply chains”: Creates a “bottom-up” flow of information

• Detailed Appendix on how to create economic and development opportunities for artisanal miners

• All stakeholders encouraged to use the suggested measures in the Appendix
