World2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported9m ago
The Ghanaian government, acting through the Minerals Commission, has demarcated and secured 13 blocked-out areas across the country for small-scale mining allocation. These designated zones are intended to be well-studied before being assigned exclusively to interested Ghanaians.
The initiative forms part of renewed governmental efforts to curb illegal mining operations. Specifically, the designated blocks aim to provide alternative legal spaces for small-scale miners who are currently operating in prohibited areas, particularly along water bodies.
