The Ghana Gold Board (GOLDBOD) has signed an agreement with the Ghana Geological Survey Authority (GGSA) to undertake geological investigations in the Funsi, Atuna and Bensere East areas as part of Phase One of a nationwide initiative.
The agreement marks a significant step towards supporting responsible, data-driven mining operations in Ghana.
The project is aimed at generating credible geological data to facilitate the establishment of model mines across the country.
Phase One of the geological investigation services, to be carried out by the GGSA over a four-month period, is estimated to cost GH¢27.5 million.
The three blocked-out mineralised areas form part of 20 such areas released to the GoldBod by the Minerals Commission of Ghana.
Through initiatives of this nature, the GoldBod continues to promote sustainable mining practices while working to maximise national gold output for the benefit of Ghanaians.
