Large Scale Mining Methods In Ghana

2 In Africa Ghana is the second largest gold producer contributing to about 5.7 of the countrys GDP. The mining sector in Ghana consists of both smallscale and largescale mining each of which has varying environmental impacts. This paper provides an exposition on the environmental impacts of mining activities in Ghana.

2020318The Edikan gold mine EGM is a largescale lowgrade conventional openpit mine in Ghana. The mine produced first gold in 2011 while commercial production began in January 2012. Production from the mine stood at more than 1.4 million ounces Mo of gold as of December 2018 and is estimated to

To determine the potential risk factors for injury estimate the annual injury rate and examine the safety perceptions and use of personal protective equipment among smallscale gold miners in Ghana. A crosssectional survey was carried out with 494 smallscale gold miners from four major mining districts in Ghana. A householdbased approach was used to obtain a representative sample of

2015521Unlike countries such as Ghana and Burkina Faso Nigeria does not have a welldeveloped largescale mining sector and the majority of gold mining in the country is carried out by artisanal and smallscale miners. Artisanal mining activities in Nigeria are almost by definition informal that is operating outside current laws and regulations.

Large scale mining versus small scale mining Large scale mining usually involves a company with many employees. The company mines at one or two large sites and usually stays until the mineral or metal is completely excavated. An example of a large scale mine is the Serra Pelada mine in Brail which yielded 29000 tons of gold from 1980 to 1986

While the engagement of Chinese migrants in smallscale mining in Ghana has gained traction in scholarship the extant literature pays little attention to how the relationship between the socalled formal institutions e.g. the Minerals Commission and Ministry of Land and Natural Resources and informal institutions e.g. the chieftaincy and customary land institutions enables illegalities

Mining communities in more than 70 developing countries mostly in the tropical regions still practise artisanal and small scale gold mining ASGM. ASGM commonly operates along rivers and streams for easy access to process water and as receptacles for mine water discharges. A largely unregulated industry ASGM employs rudimentary mining and processing methods including the use of mercury
