Artisanal gold-mining heritage

This entry introduces artisanal gold-mining heritage in the Kédougou region. Komalick's photograph, uploaded to Wikimedia Commons in 2020, shows women working in this region: it documents a past scene, not a site accessible today. The capture date is unconfirmed. Arrange a conversation about the work, history and issues involved with a local contact. No specific public site or demonstration has been confirmed for this entry.

Things to see and do

• Ask a local contact about the history of artisanal gold mining.
• Ask whether an explanation away from a work site is possible.
• Respect working areas and access rules.

Good to know

Do not enter a working site without permission and supervision; no operational mine visit is advertised.
