Mining in Ghana

Accounting for 5% of the country’s GDP, mining in Ghana focuses largely
around the extraction of the nation’s vast gold reserves. Bauxite, manganese and
diamonds are also products of mining in Ghana. There are approximately 23 companies actively mining in Ghana, with AngoGold Ashanti as the key industry figure.

The largest operation actively mining in Ghana is the Tarkwa Carbon Leach Plant – 100km from Takoradi. The design and implementation process began in July 2003, and by April 2004, full construction was underway so that by November 2004, 700 000 ounces of gold could be refined per annum. MiningIQ keeps detailed operations records of mining in Ghana – even keeping track of financial values; which in this case, is estimated to be around ZAR1, 2 billion.

Mining in Ghana is expanding with numerous feasibility studies underway, all currently being tracked and recorded by MiningIQ. With two gold projects valued at over ZAR1 billion set to go live in the near future, it is important for individuals and organisations involved in mining in Ghana to keep up to date with the latest developments.

MiningIQ keeps track of expansion projects for continued mining in Ghana, such as the ZAR 1, 6 million Bibiani Expansion Project, which is aimed at refurbishing and further mining tailings 250km northwest of Accra.
