The issue of "illegal" artisanal gold mining is a concern for the state of Côte d'Ivoire. To resolve this phenomenon, measures ranging from awareness-raising to the creation of repression brigades have been taken. Despite these actions, the practice remains. This paper aims to analyse the factors that explain the persistence of 'illegal' artisanal mining in rural Côte d'Ivoire, based on a case study of the sub-prefecture of Hiré, an area where the practice of 'illegal' artisanal mining is developing asymmetrically to that of legal exploitation. The study is essentially qualitative. For data collection, interviews were conducted with different groups of actors who participate in the production system in artisanal mining. The results of the study show that the persistence of artisanal mining is the result of a social innovation that has emerged territorially by establishing itself while leading to a social transformation.
