Galamsey, derived from the phrase "gather them and sell",[1] is local Ghanaian parlance that means illegal small-scale, gold mining in Ghana.[2] Such workers are known as galamseyers or orpailleurs in neighboring Francophone nations.[3] Galamseyers are people who perform illegal gold mining independent of mining companies, digging small working pits, tunnels, and sluices by hand. Galamsey is also referred to as Illegal Artisanal Small Scale mining (ASM).[4]
