The Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod) has signed a landmark agreement with the Ghana Geological Survey Authority (GGSA) to conduct geological investigations in three mineralized areas — Funsi, Atuna, and Bensere East — as part of Phase One of a national mining initiative.
The project, valued at GHS27.5 million, will run over a four-month period and is expected to generate credible geological data to support the establishment of model mines in Ghana. Officials say the initiative represents a major step toward responsible, data-driven mining practices.
The three sites form part of 20 mineralized blocks recently released to the Gold Board by the Minerals Commission. By commissioning the GGSA to undertake the investigations, the Gold Board aims to strengthen sustainability in the sector while maximizing national gold output for the benefit of Ghanaians.
“This partnership underscores our commitment to transparency, sustainability, and the use of scientific data in shaping Ghana’s mining future,” a Gold Board spokesperson said.
The agreement is seen as a strategic move to enhance the country’s mining potential, ensuring that exploration and development are guided by reliable geological information.
