Small scale mining in Ghana
Ghana is one of the few countries that specialized to legislate small scale mining, and has enacted law in 1989, “Small-scale Gold Mining Law”, “Mercury Law”, “Precious Mineral Sales Company Law”. Those laws provided legal protection to small scale mining and achieved good effect in a certain period.Before examining the key environmental aspects of the gold mining process, it is important to first provide a brief, yet concise, overview of small-scale gold mining in Ghana. The intensive small-scale mining of precious minerals is concentrated along the northeast– southwest gold belt of the country. Both legal and illegal miners operate along this belt.
