MSSP

The Ministry, with funding from the European Union (EU) is undertaking the Mining Sector Support Programme (MSSP).

Activities being carried out under the programme are:

• Airborne Geophysical Survey over the Volta River and Keta Basins and Geological Mapping of prioritized field sheets for the discovery of minerals leading to the diversification of the mineral production base of the country.
• Environmental Impact Assessment and National Strategic Assessment Programme to measure the effect of past, current and future consequences of large scale mining operations in order to find appropriate solutions to them.
• Mercury Pollution Abatement Project which seeks to find alternate gold processing methods for small scale gold miners to eliminate the use of mercury. This component when completed will eliminate the hazards that small scale miners are exposed to.
• Implementation of an Information Management System

Land Administration Project

A large project is carried out at the Lands Section of the Ministry.
