World Gold Council commits US$250,000 grant to support Ghana’s responsible small-scale mining programme
The Government of Ghana has secured an initial US$250,000 development grant from the World Gold Council to support responsible artisanal and small-scale mining as part of a broader US$1 million partnership aimed at strengthening the formal gold sector and tackling illegal gold trade.
The Minister explained that the initiative would improve gold recovery rates among artisanal and small-scale miners while reducing the environmental destruction associated with illegal mining.
President of the World Gold Council, David Tait, said Ghana's initiative has the potential to become a model for other gold-producing countries seeking to formalise their artisanal and small-scale mining sectors.
