A recent study, commissioned by Ghana’s EITI multi-stakeholder group (GHEITI), examines the status of Ghana’s critical minerals sector and associated governance risks and opportunities.
The study documents Ghana’s proven reserves of at least four critical minerals, which are expected to see an increase in demand as the move to meet net-zero goals ushers in new energy technologies, many of which rely on these minerals.
