The GoldBod has signed an agreement with the Ghana Geological Survey Authority (GGSA) to undertake geological investigations in three mineralised areas as part of efforts to support responsible and data-driven mining in the country.
The agreement, signed on Monday, will allow the GGSA to conduct geological studies in Funsi, Atuna, and Bensere East under the first phase of the project.
According to officials, the initiative is aimed at generating credible geological data that will support the establishment of model mines in Ghana and promote sustainable mining practices.
Phase One of the geological investigation, which is expected to last four months, will cost approximately GH¢27.5 million.
The three locations are part of 20 mineralised “blocked-out” areas that were earlier released to the GoldBod by the Minerals Commission of Ghana.
Authorities say the initiative forms part of broader efforts to enhance transparency in mineral resource development while maximising the country’s gold output.
The GoldBod indicated that the project will help provide reliable geological information needed to guide responsible mining activities and ensure that Ghana’s mineral resources are developed in a sustainable manner for the benefit of citizens.
