13 mining blocks secured for small-scale miners – Minerals Commission

The Minerals Commission has secured 13 new mining block areas across Ghana to provide legal spaces for small-scale miners who were previously operating illegally, especially in areas near water bodies. This move is part of a larger strategy to combat illegal mining by combining strict enforcement measures with the provision of legitimate, surveyed mineral-bearing locations for legitimate mining operations.
