Govt to work closer with mining firms
Government will foster closer collaboration with
stakeholders in the mining industry to ensure that
all resources available to Ghana are efficiently
utilised for the benefit of the present and
future generations.

Lands and Natural Resources Minister Kwaku
Asomah-Cheremeh said concerns about the limited
development of the African continent especially in
countries dependent on mineral resources made
African heads of state and governments adopt the
African Mining Vision (AMV) as the
continent’s blueprint for mineral-led
development.

Hon. Asomah Cheremeh stated this at the
International Mining Ministers Summit held on the
sidelines of the Prospectors and Developers
Association of Canada mining Conference (PDAC)
underway in Toronto-Canada.



The AMV is seeking to integrate Africa's mineral
sector into the Continent social and economic
development process through creating a diversified
and globally competitive African mineral industry
which contributes to broad economic and social
growth.

The Mining Ministers at the Summit theme"
Diversify to create Sustainable Development in
Mining Communities".

Mining Ministers from Ghana, Canada, Chile,
Morocco, Ethopia South Africa among others are
hopeful that the outcome of the Summit among
others will help the Decision makers to facilitate
and coordinate the contribution of other
Stakeholders for the improvement of mining
communities across the World.
