Plans to hold a mining conference in the middle of this year have been announced by Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II.
The aforementioned conference’s main objective is to promote ethical mining practices in Ghana.
This information was revealed by the King of Ashanti during a meeting with Emmanuel Armah Kofi Buah, Minister of Lands and Natural Resources, on Friday, February 14, 2025.
His Majesty claims that the World Bank and other international organizations are collaborating to organize the conference.

The ethical and sustainable extraction of minerals with the least possible negative effects on the environment and society is known as “responsible mining.” It guarantees that mining operations respect human rights, adhere to best environmental practices, and benefit nearby communities.

• Minimizing deforestation, water pollution, and soil degradation • Proper waste management, including tailings disposal • Restoring ecosystems through land rehabilitation • Respecting indigenous rights and obtaining community consent (Free, Prior, and Informed Consent – FPIC) • Providing fair wages, safe working conditions, and labor rights protection • Contributing to local development through education, healthcare, and infrastructure • Compliance with national and international mining regulations Transparency in operations and revenue reporting • Anti-corruption policies and responsible supply chain practices • Using technology to reduce environmental footprints (e.g., water recycling, renewable energy) • And many others
The Conference will aim to balance economic benefits with environmental conservation and social well-being, ensuring that mining remains a sustainable industry for future generations.
