Mr. Gyamfi also reaffirmed the Board’s commitment to supporting the small-scale mining sector in line with its mandate, which provides for the allocation of up to 30 per cent of its surplus to assist small-scale miners.
He further invited the associations to submit a comprehensive working plan to facilitate the structured implementation of targeted support initiatives aimed at enhancing productivity and efficiency in the sector.
