Ghana Chamber of Mines voices concern over diminishing mining investment prospects

ACCRA, July 1 — Ghana risks losing mining investments to its neighbors due to the growing uncompetitiveness of the country’s mining framework, Kenneth Ashigbey, chief executive officer (CEO) of the Ghana Chamber of Mines, has cautioned.

During the day-long Mining for Development Forum on Tuesday, Ashigbey said the reason Ghana became Africa’s number one mining investment destination and leading gold producer was the competitiveness of its existing framework.
