The Ghana Gold Board has signed an agreement with the Ghana Geological Survey Authority (GGSA) for geological investigations in respect of mineralized blocked-out areas in Funsi, Atuna and Bensere East
This is a major step by the Ghana Gold Board as part of efforts to support responsible and data-driven mining in the country.
The agreement, signed today, March 16, 2026, marks a significant step by the GoldBod toward generating credible geological data to support the establishment of model mines in Ghana.
Under Phase One of the project, the Ghana Geological Survey Authority will conduct geological investigation services over a four-month period at a cost of GH¢27.5 million.
The three mineralized areas, Funsi, Atuna, and Bensere East form part of 20 blocked-out mineralized zones released to the Ghana Gold Board by the Minerals Commission of Ghana for further assessment and development.
The initiative is expected to provide reliable geological data to guide mining investments, improve transparency in mineral resource management, and support the development of responsible small-scale mining operations.
Through initiatives such as this, the Ghana Gold Board continues to advance its mandate of supporting sustainable mining practices while working to maximize Ghana’s gold output for the benefit of the country and its people.
