The Ghana Gold Board has agreed to give GH¢27.5 million to the Ghana Geological Survey Authority. This money will be used to study the ground in three areas known for minerals. These areas are Funsi, Atuna, and Bensere East.
The agreement was signed yesterday. It is the first part of a larger plan. The plan aims to make mining in Ghana more reliable by using good data.
This investment by the Ghana Gold Board is intended to create better information for mining companies. Accurate geological data is important for finding minerals and planning mining projects safely.
The Ghana Geological Survey Authority will conduct these investigations. They will gather detailed information about the soil and rocks.
The improved data is expected to help mining companies make smarter decisions. This could lead to more successful and efficient mining operations across Ghana.
This effort supports the government's goal of strengthening the mining sector through better knowledge.
