Ghana is undertaking its most comprehensive overhaul of mining laws in nearly two decades, aiming to shorten mining licence durations and ensure direct revenue-sharing with local communities. The reforms are part of a broader effort to combat illegal mining (galamsey), which has led to the arrest of over 1,300 suspects and the seizure of hundreds of excavators and machinery in 2025 alone. Authorities are also revoking and reviewing hundreds of small-scale mining licences and introducing new requirements for machinery registration. The government emphasizes that the fight against illegal mining is a long-term commitment, balancing environmental protection, community benefits, and sustainable investment. These measures are designed to increase accountability, promote local ownership, and restore affected lands and forests.
