Metallogenic belt division and status of mineral exploration and development in Ghana

Ghana is rich in mineral resources, and dominant mineral resources are gold, bauxite, manganese, diamond and so on.Ghana is one of the hotspot of exploration and development for international mining companies.In contrast, the working degree of geology and mineral resources in Ghana is generally low, lack of regional metallogenetic regularity summary and scientific evaluation of mineral resources potential, which restricts the choice and deployment of chinese companies in Ghana's mining investment.In this paper, on the basis of predecessors study, the regional geological background and the characteristics of dominant mineral resources in Ghana are clarified.And six Ⅳ-level metallogenic belts are divided, the geological and mineral characteristics of each metallogenic belt are summarized, and the mineral resources potential is evaluated.By collecting and sorting out various information and data, this paper summarized the current status of mineral exploration and development in Ghana, provided some specific suggestions on the mining investment in Ghana, and reference for overseas mining cooperation.
