GoldBod to fund rehabilitation of six water treatment plants affected by mining

The Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod) will fully fund the rehabilitation of six water treatment plants shut down due to poor water quality linked to irresponsible mining and other activities.

He said the decision to fund their rehabilitation was part of GoldBod’s commitment to mitigating the impact of irresponsible mining on critical public infrastructure and access to potable water.

Mr Gyamfi said the intervention demonstrates the need for the mining sector to take greater responsibility for the social and environmental impact of its activities.
