The Ghana Gold Board has entered into a GHC27.5 million agreement with the Ghana Geological Survey Authority to conduct geological investigations across three mineralised areas, a move aimed at strengthening responsible and data-driven mining in the country.
The four-month project will target blocked-out mineral zones in Funsi, Atuna, and Bensere East, marking the first phase of the initiative. Officials say the study will generate credible geological data critical for guiding the development of model mines and improving the management of Ghana’s mineral resources.
Under the agreement, the Geological Survey Authority will lead technical investigations to determine the geological characteristics and mineral potential of the three designated areas.
The Gold Board stated that the project aligns with broader national efforts to promote sustainable mining while boosting gold output for the country’s economic benefit.
Authorities emphasised that reliable geological data will support evidence-based policy decisions, attract responsible investment, and enhance the overall management of Ghana’s mineral resources, ensuring the mining sector contributes sustainably to national development.
