The government has established a Mineral Development Unit at the Agricultural Development Bank (ADB).
The unit, according to Deputy Lands and Natural Resources Minister, George Mireku Duker, forms part of efforts to continuously support relevant players within the mining sector.
It is also to ensure that small-scale miners have access to credit facilities for their operations.
Mr Duker revealed this at a press briefing on Wednesday.
