Mining in Motion takes place under the theme Sustainable Mining & Local Growth – Leveraging Resources for Global Impact on June 2 – 4 at the Kempinski Hotel in Accra, Ghana
CAPE TOWN, South Africa, May 14, 2025/APO Group/ --
The upcoming Mining in Motion Summit – Ghana’s premier gathering for mining stakeholders, scheduled for June 2 - 4, 2025 in Accra – will feature a high-level panel discussion on the country’s ongoing efforts to formalize its artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM) sector.
Titled Case Studies in ASGM Formalization: Learning from Successes and Addressing Challenges, the panel will explore regulation and programs enhancing the ASGM sector’s contribution to mining sector growth in Ghana. The panel will feature representatives from the Minerals Commission of Ghana, the World Bank and key ASGM industry players.
ASGM plays a vital role in Ghana’s mining sector, contributing over $5 billion in gold export revenue in 2024, employing more than one million people and accounting for over 40% of national gold production. Through the recently established Ghana Gold Board, the country aims to curb gold smuggling - estimated to cost the country $2.3 billion annually - by providing a legal platform for small-scale miners to sell gold and access financing to expand their operations.
Furthermore, the Ghana Land Restoration and Small-Scale Mining Project - launched in partnership with the World Bank - offers financial and technical assistance to ASGM operators, helping them improve sustainable land use while providing legal integration into the broader mining economy.
The Minerals Commission of Ghana and the Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources are driving the country’s agenda to formalize the ASGM sector by simplifying licensing processes via District Mining Committees. In addition, Community Mining Schemes continue to play a critical role in combating illegal mining by organizing miners into formalized, community-based cooperatives, boosting their access to finance, technology and training.
Mining in Motion will not only showcase Ghana’s progress but also provide a platform for ASGM stakeholders to gain valuable insights into overcoming sector challenges and scaling their operations legally and sustainably. The summit, hosted by the Ashanti Green Initiative under the leadership of Oheneba Kwaku Duah, Prince of the Ashanti Kingdom, is organized in collaboration with the World Bank and the World Gold Council.
Stay informed about the latest advancements, network with industry leaders, and engage in critical discussions on key issues impacting small-scale miners and medium- to large-scale mining in Ghana.

This is very bad, the government should not allow these people to disappear inthe public; they can easily join Al-Shabab again… So, if the government allowed them to go, then they should be under watch of the secret intelligence in Somaliland….
Guys, there are eight Somalilanders in the most senior leaders of Al-Shabab, including the head of Al-Shabab… So, we should watch them very seriously before they explode in our streets.
Forgive me Allah, if i am mistaken.
They were wrongly accused by the American government and they deserve to get their lives back after all they have been through.
i think these are innocent civilians
why are they realesed if they are not cheryy picked at first place
civikl lierty distroyed by bush and dick cheney they shoukd be put in front of court
asl all lawyers dembo
The government should not have just releazed these guys into the main society,they should be interviewed and re-evaluated before letting them go on.__What if they have negative agenda towards Somaliland and it's people?. __
Abdulrahman, Wake up, did you read the story or not? (spent years) in Guantanamo Bay!! and if the Americans believed that they were guilty of anything, do you seriously think that they would be sending the home?
You need to understand, that you or I, in fact anyone is at risk of being falsely accused and imprisoned in the cause of defeating terrorism! the reality of this is that you loses your freedom, your rights and your family for years on end. And then your released with a blackened name and forced to sign a declaration not to sue the your former host, whom so kindly denied your constitutional rights and who in all-probability tortured you beating you into submission.
I love America and love the Constitution, but the moment we as a nation undertook an expedition into the dark-side of torturing human beings and caging them like animals, we lost the real war – safe guarding democracy, freedom and true justice!!!
So, before you think about celebrating the removal of human rights and caging and torturing people, take a deep long look at the bill of rights and the constitution of the United States, I am absolutely positive you'll see that it mentions nothing about caging, beating and torturing anyone let alone a Somaliander incarcerated in Cuba.
Only a fool laughs at his own jokes Martin(Puntland guy)..Shows the maturity of Somaliland. Can't send them to Somalia, they will only join radicals there, can't send them to Puntland, they will only become pirates, send them to a democratic and stable country, Somaliland. I think the detainees requested Somaliland anyway.
Abdulrahman and Obsiye, you two seem bit paranoid and worse than the Americans who humiliated not only these Somaliland nationals but hundrends of other Muslim men. You should be ashamed.
These two men did absolutely nothing they were basically sold by the Pakistani government led by General Musharaf to America. America did not charge them of any crimes, they kept them behind bars for 8 years, is that not enough for you two sick guys?
Even non-Somalis non-Muslims have more sympathy for these two innocent men than you two sickos.
Well done to the Red Cross who took part in freeing these innocent men, and welcome home.
