Small-scale gold mining (SSGM) refers to mining by individuals, groups, families, or cooperatives with minimal or no mechanization, often in the informal (illegal) sector of the economy. In the Philippines, the gross production value of small-scale gold mining is 1.0 billion pesos (USD 21.7M) as of 2014. 1
