Benefits of Cooperative Membership for ASM
Joining a cooperative unlocks funding, shared equipment, access to Sirius MTP services and market access — essential for scaling artisanal & small-scale mining.
Why Join a Cooperative?
Access to finance and grants
Collective applications (CDF, microfinance, impact funds) improve approval prospects and allow larger loans for equipment and working capital.
Shared PPE & Machinery
Pooling resources makes PPE, crushers, grinders, and testing labs affordable and available to members.
Market Access and better prices
Cooperatives can negotiate bulk sales, ensure compliance, and use Sirius MTP to reach verified buyers.
Compliance and formalisation support
Assistance with licences, KYC/KYB, environmental best practice and mining safety improves legal standing and revenue opportunities.
