 THE Chief Exec­utive Officer of the Ghana Cham­ber of Mines (GCM), Dr Ken­neth Ashigbey, has proposed that the govern­ment should initiate investments in prospecting and exploration to obtain a larger portion of the nation’s mineral resources.

He said if the government desired larger equity in the min­eral extraction industry, it must be involved from the beginning of the value chain, starting with prospecting and exploration.

Dr Ashigbey made the sug­gestion at a news conference in Accra last Thursday to highlight the contribution of GCM mem­ber companies to government revenue in 2024.

His response followed a ques­tion on how Ghana can increase the benefits it derives from its mineral resources.
