The Minerals Commission is set to inaugurate a new office in Bibiani, located in the Western North Region, on September 18, 2024.

This initiative is part of the government’s strategy to decentralise the Commission’s operations, aiming to enhance service delivery significantly.

The new office will oversee three key mining operations in the Bibiani-Anhwiaso-Bekwai Municipality: Ghana Bauxite, Asante Gold Bibiani Mine, and Asante Gold Chirano Mine. By establishing this office, the Commission intends to provide more efficient services and expedite the processing of mining licenses and documentation.

The Chief Executive Officer of the Minerals Commission, Martin Kwaku Ayisi, expressed optimism about the positive impact this new office will have on the Commission’s overall performance.

He emphasized the government’s dedication to advancing Ghana’s mining sector through strategic investments in resources and technology.

According to Mr. Ayisi, this investment is expected to streamline the processing of mining licenses and documents.

He also highlighted that the new office will eliminate the need for mining companies in the Western North Region to travel to Accra for paperwork, which is anticipated to bring long-term benefits to the mining sector.
