The Ghana Mineworkers’ Union welcomes the redevelopment of the Obuasi mine into the full fresh operations by AngloGold Ashanti following an accord over the Obuasi Investment framework.

The mining industry in Ghana comprised two broad operations; those who deal with direct production as well as trade on the international market; and those providing auxiliary support services to production companies. Gold is the major mineral exploited in the mining industry and contributes substantially to the industry’s output in terms of mineral revenue and production. In view of that, the study concentrated much more on gold mining.
