  • D. F. Stewart

Abstract

The paper reviews available information on how scale and technological sophistication affect the extent to which mineral industries in developing countries aid in meeting those countries' development objectives. It also identifies criteria for determining if small‐scale or labour‐intensive operations are suitable to particular mining projects.
