Mar 01, 2002 The methods used for gold extraction and winning in the former Gold Coast region were extremely simple. According to Dumett (1998) traditional gold mining in Ghana can be analyzed according to three main categories: alluvial, shallow pit, and deep shaft. Alluvial mining was most widespread, and was practiced along the banks of the Ankobra, Ofin
Ghana - Ghana - Resources and power: Although Ghana has a wide range of minerals, only some—gold, diamonds, manganese, and bauxite (the principal ore of aluminum)—are exploited. Gold mining, with an unbroken history dating from the 15th century, is the oldest of these extraction industries; the others are of 20th-century origin—the working of manganese dating from 1916, diamonds from

Approximately two-thirds of Ghana’s small-scale miners are engaged in the extraction of gold, and most of the balance extract diamonds [4]; only a small group of miners are involved in industrial minerals production. Small-scale mining brings several benefits to developing countries, manifested mainly as
Get PriceThe process is applicable directly to gold- bearing sand, and to gold-bearing rocks after crushing. The crushing is effected by stone-crushers, rolling-mills, and stamp-mills. The washing is carried out either by subjecting the material to the prolonged action of flowing water, or by mechanical agitation with water in deep iron pans or cradles
