The geomorphological changes caused by the artisanal mining in the mining area Kabera - Rwanda
Original language description
Rwanda is a small East African country with significant mineral resources - tungsten, cobalt, tantalum, tin and gold in particular. These ore minerals are being mined in Rwanda for more than 80 years, but the production gained momentum only recently. These metals are essential in the electrical industry as electrical engineering products. Due to the difficult legal and technical conditions, natural resources are extracted by the manner typical of developing countries - artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM). It is dominated by a mixture of artisanal and semi-industrious methods. The miners use methods like panning, sluicing, digging and hand picking to obtain the pre-concentrates. As a result of this method of extraction, there are significant variations in the relief of the landscape. The Kabera mine site is situated in the Western Rwanda. It is a part of the concession of Rutsiro rich in tungsten ore. Artisanal method of mining on the location Kabera began in the 1950s. At present, t
