The Delve Exchange is a global online network created to empower artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) communities. We believe in the power of connection, knowledge sharing, and the expertise of miners on the ground. Born during the challenges of a global pandemic, we leverage technology to bridge geographical gaps and create a vibrant virtual space where ASM miners, quarry workers, experts, and organizations can come together to share experiences.
To foster a thriving and sustainable ASM sector by facilitating the exchange of knowledge, best practice, and support among miners and communities worldwide.
A world where we as ASM miners are recognized for our valuable contributions, empowered with knowledge, and are actively involved in shaping a responsible and prosperous future for our industry.
We utilize accessible platforms like WhatsApp, Zoom, and YouTube to create a welcoming and inclusive environment. Our activities span six regions, each led by a dedicated Knowledge Exchange Coordinator who understands the unique needs and challenges of our area. We offer a variety of engagement opportunities, including regional WhatsApp groups, monthly Zoom forums, and the innovative miner-led ASM Academy.
ASM miners are the heart of the Delve Exchange. Our voices, experiences, and expertise are central to everything we do.
We believe in the power of collaboration among miners, experts, organizations, and governments to drive positive change.
We foster a culture of open knowledge sharing, where everyone is both a teacher and a learner.
We promote sustainable practices that protect the environment, ensure fair labor conditions, and contribute to the economic well-being of communities.
