Ghana Is Now Africa’s Top Gold Producer
Ghana has become the largest Gold producer in Africa, toppling South Africa in a recent data released by the World Bank.
The data copied to the Ghana News Agency said Ghana exported 158 tonnes of gold in 2018, about 15% increase over the previous year.
Ghana has thus dethroned South Africa, which produced 139.3 tonnes and returned to the high volumes of the 1980s.
It said mining firms operating in the country include Newmont Mining Corporation, Gold Fields, Anglogold Ashanti and Asanko Gold.
It noted rural communities in four regions of Ghana currently affected by the environmental damage and pollution associated with destructive artisanal mining and logging practices are to benefit from a scale-up of the Ghana Forest Investment Program.
