How changes in the small-scale mining sector are impacting the environment
Ghana's gold export receipts for 2022 were estimated at US$ 6.6 billion, despite a previous decline in revenue due to reduced gold production. The small-scale mining sector, which contributes significantly to the national economy, has faced challenges with illegal mining practices known as 'galamsey,' causing environmental destruction. The government has implemented various measures, including a mercury-free gold processing technology called 'gold katcha,' to address these issues. Efforts to regulate and promote responsible mining continue, with the introduction of the Community Mining Scheme and digitization of mining services. Key stakeholders, including the President and the Minister for Lands and Natural Resources, emphasize the importance of sustainable mining practices.
