The Ghana Gold Board, known as GoldBod, has entered into a GH¢27.5 million agreement with the Ghana Geological Survey Authority (GGSA). This partnership is set to carry out important geological investigations.
The investigations will focus on three key mineralised areas. These areas are Funsi, Atuna, and Bensere East. The deal was signed yesterday.
This agreement marks the first phase of a larger plan. The goal is to improve and make mining in Ghana more reliable using strong data.
The Ghana Geological Survey Authority will conduct detailed studies. These studies will help understand the mineral potential of the chosen locations.
Both GoldBod and the GGSA are committed to supporting Ghana's mining sector. Better geological data can lead to smarter investment decisions.
This move is expected to strengthen the foundation for responsible and efficient mining operations in the country.
Accurate geological data is crucial for assessing mineral deposits. It helps miners know where to explore and extract resources safely.
The GH¢27.5 million funding will cover the costs of the initial investigations. Further phases may follow based on these results.
