NO This document is an Excel-based conversion and data-collection workbook intended to standardize informal artisanal and small-scale gold mining measurements into International System of Units before entry into a baseline file that requires standardized values. It defines key variables related to gold production, including quantities and purity of gold, quantities and grades of ore, and the corresponding informal units, and it provides conversion factors and examples to support consistent reporting. The document contains the following worksheets: ASGM Conversion Tool: Informal Units to ISO Units; Location Information; Information from Nearby Mining Communities; Gold Trader Interviews; Observations; Interviews with ASGM Workers about Extraction; Interviews with ASGM Workers about Transport; Interviews with ASGM Workers about Processing; Interviews with ASGM Workers about Earnings; Mercury-to-Gold Ratio; ASGM Site Summary.
