SO WE SHOULD SACRIFICE OUR FONA AND FLORA, OUR HEALTH AND DIGNITY SO THESE SO CALLED COMPANIES WOULD ONLY EMPLOY A FEW 100S WHILE MAKING BILLIONAIRES TO INVEST ELSEWHERE.

These concerns raised are good but the underpinning motive are ill-thoughts which are not worth taking as advice. The mess was created by these leaders of the minority group. To pass a bill permitting mining in forest reserves and the registration of uncountable licence for mining was and is the worst form of governance to happen to this country.

The new constitution should stipulate the Goldboard and all other minerals should not be taken out of Ghana without going through a scrutiny by the Government of Ghana. Ghana will rise again.

At the moment everything is boiled down to common sense, l would advise the president to put a ban on surface mining for at least two years for our rivers to recover from the destruction done by some pigs who call themselves surface miners, if anybody wants to mind, they should go deep underground however the destruction we are causing today would definitely have serious consequences in the years ahead .Ghana can do better without surface mining if we manage the resources we have well,greedy politicians are not happy because they know they will loose money when government put measures to crack down on illegal mining activities in our forests reserves. God bless Ghana

Time will tell.We need more money from mining create more jobs and aid national development.We need to mine other commodities Bauxite Manganese Iron Ore Nickel Graphite etc Just heard 4 billion Dollars needed for the Oti Iron Ore Project.The lithium project is stalled other countries developing projects and mining.Investment in exploration is low in Ghana compared to our neighbours
Real discussion needed on mining .Just dependable on Gold would not solve our problems.Serious mining countries mine so many commodities

South Africa Gold Platinum Chrome Diamonds Iron Ore Manganese Coal for export generating power and small conversion to crude oil.Same Russia Australia Canada

We need to be serious short term gains would not help.

We need more quality and sustainability in the sector. Not just growth. If the mining sector grows and we lose our forests, rivers, and water bodies, will rather prefer not to grow.
