According to EITI 2020 the number of number of medium, small-scale mining and quarry companies is increasing. Deducting from EITI data, roughly 400 operative ASM/SSM licenses appear to exist. With the factor of 10+ miners per mine as per the 2009 study, this suggests approx. 5,000 formal ASM/SSM miners in all commodities. Additionally, |

+ | As a traditional mining country, Albania has an increasing number of medium, small-scale mining and quarry companies, and only a few large-scale industrial mining companies. In December 2018, AKBN reported approximately 600 mining licenses, out of which 165 licenses were reported as passive and not operating. \\ | ||

+ | Chapter 2.3: Over the recent years, prolonged low market prices for metals, including chromium, nickel, and copper, have caused the chromite ore and iron-nickel ore production to fall off, and between 2005 and 2008, the considerable increase in the prices led to a considerable increase in the production of these mineral ores in Albania. | ||
