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 broader project.
The initiative marks a significant step towards promoting responsible, data-driven mining in Ghana by generating reliable geological data to support the establishment of model mines across the country.
Under the agreement, the GGSA will provide geological investigation services over a four-month period at a cost of GHS27.5 million.
The three blocked-out mineralised areas form part of 20 locations that were released to GoldBod by the Minerals Commission of Ghana for further exploration and development.
GoldBod says the project forms part of its broader efforts to promote sustainable mining practices while maximizing national gold output for the benefit of Ghanaians.
