Ghana, China agree three-point strategy to tackle illegal mining

Ghana and China have reached a three-point strategy to tackle illegal mining, strengthen technical cooperation in geological surveys, and promote responsible investment in Ghana's mining sector. The agreement was reached during a high-level meeting between the two countries' ministers on the sidelines of the 2026 China Mining Conference in Tianjin, China.

The strategy includes working with Chinese companies to ensure they meet high standards, punishing those who break the law in both countries, and strengthening the capacity of Ghana's Geological Survey Authority. China is also prepared to provide satellite remote sensing, airborne geophysical surveys, and other technical support to help Ghana bridge gaps in unmapped geological data.
