Milsat Technologies has launched its ASM Geoportal under the UNDP MineTech Timbuktoo Hub to formalize the artisanal mining sector. The platform uses location-intelligence and KYC data to map and profile small-scale miners, bridging the gap between them and essential services like credit, insurance, and safety equipment. Having already completed field mapping in Nigeria and Kenya, Milsat aims to profile one million miners and connect 200,000 to formal financial and support systems across Africa over the next four years.
