The Minister for Lands and Natural Resources, Mr. Samuel A. Jinapor, has urged the Chinese government and businesses to collaborate in the sustainable development of Ghana’s green mineral resources. Speaking at the China-Ghana Resources Innovation Roundtable in Accra, he emphasized the potential for significant revenue generation and a supportive environment for investors through Ghana’s green mineral policy.

Mr. Jinapor highlighted the importance of responsible exploitation, value addition, environmental protection, and local participation in ensuring mutual benefits for the nation and businesses. He specifically called on Chinese companies to invest in green mineral resources like lithium, iron, and industrial minerals such as salt, citing guaranteed benefits and returns.

The Minister outlined Ghana’s efforts to promote integrated iron and aluminum industries through organizations like GIADEC and GIISDEC, as well as the management of mineral income through the MIIF. He also noted the significant contributions of Ghana’s mining sector to the economy, with mining activities accounting for 16% of government revenue and 7.9% of GDP.

Chinese Ambassador to Ghana, H.E Lu Kun, reaffirmed China’s commitment to sustainable resource development in collaboration with Ghana. He praised the progress in the mining sector and highlighted successful partnerships like the Bui Dam project and the western corridor. The strong historical ties between Ghana and China, coupled with the success stories of Chinese mining ventures in Ghana, present a compelling case for further collaboration in the green mineral sector.
