The Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod) has signed a GH¢27.5 million agreement with the Ghana Geological Survey Authority (GGSA) to undertake geological investigations in selected mineralised areas across the country, marking a significant step toward strengthening responsible and data-driven mining in Ghana.
The agreement, signed on Monday, will see the GGSA conduct geological investigations in Funsi, Atuna and Bensere East under the first phase of the project, which is expected to run for four months.
According to GoldBod, the initiative forms part of a broader strategy to generate credible geological data that will support the development of model mining operations and enhance sustainable mineral resource management in the country.
The project will involve detailed geological assessments of the mineralised blocks to provide reliable data that can guide responsible exploration and mining activities.
Officials say the partnership underscores GoldBod’s commitment to promoting transparency and scientific evidence in the management of Ghana’s mineral resources while helping to maximize the country’s gold output.
The Board noted that strengthening geological knowledge of mineralised areas will not only improve planning and regulatory oversight in the mining sector but will also contribute to the sustainable exploitation of Ghana’s gold resources for national development.
Through initiatives such as this collaboration with the Ghana Geological Survey Authority, GoldBod says it remains focused on advancing sustainable mining practices while ensuring that Ghana derives maximum value from its gold resources for the benefit of its citizens.
