Members of the Ghana Chamber of Mines, an association of mining companies operating the country have pledged their support for the new Minister for Lands and Natural Resources, John Peter Amewu to enable him implement policies and programmes to speed up the growth and development of the mining sector.
Ghana has launched a process to draw the greatest possible benefit from its gold mining industry, leveraging the strong macroeconomic contribution of mining to increase prosperity throughout Ghanaian society.
Mining companies operating in Ghana have disclosed that they spend a princely amount of $5 million monthly on cross-subsidy for the consumption of social fuel (premix fuel) by low-income households in the country.
