      The Ghananian mining led to job creation for local people and they were able to support their families by providing food for them and also pay for educational fees for their children. Therefore lives of the people who worked in the mines changed even though the miners were not being paid enough.
  • Although these efforts have noticeably improved the efficiency of operations, certain problems — principally, environmental impacts and land-use conflicts — continue to be largely ignored by government and are becoming increasingly unmanageable. It is therefore imperative that measures are taken immediately to address pressing sector-specific environmental complications such as mercury pollution and land degradation, and to resolve disputes between small- and large-scale miners competing over land concessions.

      Mining in Ghana led to improved infrastructural development such as construction of roads, hospitals and schools. These are thing that were need for the community and people to continue living their best lives. Mining activities in Ghana also contributed to the country's revenue, the gorvernment earned foreign exchange through the export of minerals such as gold, manganese and bauxite. However there are also negative impacts that mining had in the environment. This includes the displacements of communities and health hazards for workers whom ended up losing their jobs as miners because they were no longer productive.
  • In fact, it was the rich gold deposits of the western Sahara that were largely responsible for the wealth and strength of large ancient Ghanaian empires and cultures [1], and by the 15th and 16th centuries, at the peak of European colonial exploration, Ghana was fittingly labelled the ‘Gold Coast’.

      There were many markets and large supplies for gold that existed in Ghana. Most of the people who worked in the mines were Black African people who were enslaved by the British people.
  • The country is situated mostly within the West African Craton, which stabilized during the early Proterozoic Period some two billion years ago [2].

      Ghana extends in many parts, in the North Ghana there is more than 85% of the economically active population that specializes in agriculture. Nothern region of Ghana is drier compared to the Southern areas of the country.

      According to Ghana statistical service, the unemployment rate in Ghana wa 7.3% in 2020, with the youth unemployment rate being 13.3% . However the Government launched several youth employment programs, this includes agriculture, manufacturing, mining and tourism.
  • Small-scale mining brings several benefits to developing countries, manifested mainly as employment and revenue. Although not capital intensive, small-scale mines require sufficient manpower; labour-intensive small-scale mining operations are economically feasible because investment costs per job are typically only 10–12 per cent as those costs in large mining operations [10]
  • Small-scale mining, therefore, has a major impact on the employment situation in the developing world, especially in rural areas where there are few alternatives. Moreover, the enactment of relevant legislation and effective legalization of small-scale mining has had a positive impact on the economies of certain developing countries.
