Natural Resources Forum, 1987, vol. 11, issue 3, 219-227

Abstract: This paper summarizes the present status of small‐scale gold mining in Papua New Guinea and examines the extent to which it contributes to meeting the nation's development goals. It concludes that small‐scale mining makes a valuable contribution as a rural development activity, and points to aspects which should receive attention in any developing country seeking to obtain the maximum benefit from such activity.
