GoldBod Partners with Ghana to Formalize Small-Scale Mining, Boost Sustainability
GoldBod, a mining support organisation, has been in talks with key Ghanaian authorities to formalise geological investigations. The aim is to establish model small-scale mines and improve the sector's environmental practices.
GoldBod's Mining Support Programme seeks to transform small-scale mining by introducing model community mines. This follows discussions with the Ghana Geological Survey Authority, the Minerals Commission, and the Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources.
The proposed geological studies will identify viable mineralised zones for controlled small-scale mining. The meeting focused on strengthening collaboration among these key institutions for efficient technical assessments and resource mapping. This will help ensure adherence to best environmental and safety practices.
GoldBod's initiative aims to formalise artisanal mining and reduce environmental damage caused by unregulated operations. The collaboration with Ghanaian authorities is a step towards transforming the small-scale mining sector and promoting sustainable practices.
