The ensuing multiple interactions of entities and systems of industrial mining and ASM often result in conflict with significant material ramifications, usually to the detriment of ASM miners and communities. This paper investigates the contested interface at the point of industrial mining’s transition from exploration to production at two mine sites in Indonesia: namely, Suwawa Timur, in Bone-Bolango Regency and Gunung Pani, in Pohuwato Regency in Gorontalo Province. Specifically, these mining operations were in the environmental impact assessment and community consultation phase. Our investigation draws on in-depth interviews with miners involved in local artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM) and ASM associations, representatives of gold/copper mining companies seeking to transition from exploration to production, associated government entities, and communities near these two mining locations. Our analysis demonstrates the contestation of the interface through focusing on the question of ‘who intersects with whom?’—as raised by both mining companies and ASGM actors. Using a combined lens of governmentality and interpretive governance, this paper argues that governing the interface involves the exercise of power/knowledge of multiple actors through the promotion of competing rationalities, making the interface relations dynamic and positional. In concluding, we advocate for the active and legitimate involvement of ASM actors in governing the interface.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47848,"journal":{"name":"Extractive Industries and Society-An International Journal","volume":"23 ","pages":"Article 101691"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2025-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144185120","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While more than half of the miners perceive mercury as dangerous to their health, their knowledge about mercury is low despite ongoing educational programmes on the mines. Few had heard about mercury poisoning, could mention any of the critical symptoms of mercury contamination, or knew how to properly protect themselves from mercury. Risk perception was not significantly correlated to knowledge of mercury, previous training or protective behaviour. However, improving access to protective equipment by providing it for free had a large positive impact on protective behaviour one year later.

The work experiences of three local women employed in a Chinese mine in Papua New Guinea (PNG) are then illustrated.

Results indicate that mining regions generally show higher acceptance due to economic dependency and cultural ties, though concerns persist.

EO technologies were met with skepticism, reflecting broader distrust of new technologies and media. Many respondents were unaware of EO technologies and their potential mining applications.

Through 20 placer mine visits and 32 semi-structured interviews with miners, government, and suppliers, the study finds that a connection to nature—not profit—is the primary motivation. Using a HNC framework, the data reveal that miners perceive their livelihoods as meaningful rural work tied to their engagement with the land and natural environment. These connections go beyond material needs, encompassing experiential, cognitive, emotional, and philosophical realms. Yukon miners' ability to make localized decisions and participate in the full mine life cycle highlights the importance of autonomy and proximity to nature. The concept of mining as an ecosystem service emerges when Earth materials are included within the definition of nature. This study challenges dualistic paradigms that separate humans from nature and Earth material needs, and contributes to broader efforts to embed strong sustainability in the mining sector—an approach that recognizes nature as the non-substitutable foundation of all other forms of capital. It also identifies the fragility of HNCs in contexts where excessive stress on ecosystems, remote decision-making, or livelihood insecurity undermines sustainability. Yukon provides a case study for exploring alternative mining models, such as slow mining, which emphasizes responsible practices and local empowerment.
