In a balanced steady state: This circle might be:« the ladder that sends us to wealth »
Being 3-5 times the income of other occupationsit may contribute to poverty reduction!

How to alleviate the pressure on the environment, the biosphere reserves?
Low levels of technologyAnd poor geo-prospecting
Low recoveryLow productivity
Low income
Unskilled labour andinability to invest
Improvements in the technical, environmental and socio-economic performance of the ASM sector hinge on the Formalization of miners through rights recognition
Step 1: Delineate with precision the location of the mining permitsand the reserve areasStep 2: Improve geo-prospections to delineate appropriate areas for: 1. Artisanal mining, 2.small mining and 3. industrial minings
![Page 16: Artisanal Mining & Biosphere Reserves in Central Africa · The ASM poverty trap How to alleviate this viscious circle The Congo case study › Structure the mining code and cadastral](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022071217/60490a0539356438d0678a36/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Improved mappings› Integrate mining title maps with other information
databases (Reserves, Resources potentialities, natural and environmental risks, Range modelings,…
› Improve cartographyImprove Geology› Better prospecting› Improved formations› Exchange geological database› Transboundary integrated geology
Determine the environmental impacts
