This paper argues that actions of large-scale mining companies at the early stages of a mining project establish a legacy which sets the tone for that mine's long-term relationship with the local artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) stakeholders. This paper compares the experiences of Gold Fields' Tarkwa and Damang mines and the …
Gold Fields' Tarkwa and Damang mines have very different histories with respect to ASM. Exactly why this dichotomy developed is initially perplexing and therefore provides an interesting case study. The two mines are within kilometers of each other. There is no significant cultural difference between the populations near these mines.
