The Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod) has signed an agreement with the Ghana Geological Survey Authority (GGSA) to carry out geological investigations in three blocked-out mineralised areas in Funsi, Atuna, and Bensere East as part of Phase One of the project.
The initiative represents a major step by GoldBod to advance responsible, data-driven mining practices in Ghana.
The investigations are expected to produce accurate geological data that will guide the development of model mines and support sustainable mineral resource management across the country.
Under the agreement, the GGSA will carry out geological investigation services over a four-month period at a cost of GH¢27.5 million.
The project will focus on evaluating the mineral potential of the designated areas to guide strategic mining development and inform policy planning.
The three newly blocked-out mineralised zones are part of 20 areas recently released to GoldBod by the Minerals Commission of Ghana.
GoldBod says initiatives like this are designed to promote sustainability in the mining sector while boosting national gold production for the benefit of Ghanaians.
