In situ lichens (Parmelia sulcata) have been used to assess atmospheric heavy metal deposition in the Tarkwa gold mining area of Ghana. Total heavy metal concentrations obtained by instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) were processed by positive matrix factorization (PMF), principal component (PCA) and cluster (CA) analyses.
Gold mineralization was also probably diachronous and shows an extended history in Ghana where emplacement of epigenetic deposits continued after deposition of the Tarkwaian conglomerates. Hydrothermal fluids which transported the primary gold may have been channelled along fault systems at the interface between the Birimian belts …

The specific objective is to determine sampling location, overburden thickness, gravel thickness, gravel grade and gold contents. Secondary data …
The Ahafo gold district (Fig. 1) in Ghana was chosen as a case study area for GIS-based MPM because it was once a prominent exploration field with over a half-century of exploration history (Griffis et al., 2002).Although exploration activities in the Ahafo district have slowed in recent years, it is still a potential gold-producing district (Takyi-Kyeremeh …

Much of this mineral wealth is concentrated in Ghana, the second largest gold producer in Africa (Brown, 2015). The main gold belts in southwestern Ghana are the Ashanti Belt (total endowment ca. 170 Moz Au), the Sefwi–Bibiani Belt (> 30 Moz Au) and the Asankrangwa Belt (> 10 Moz Au) (Fig. 1; Table 1).

The gold deposits in the western portion of Ghana's Sefwi and Ashanti Belts (Chirano, Nhyiaso, and Ayankyerim) are prime examples of gold deposits hosted by granitoids (Allibone et al., Citation 2004; Fougerouse et al., Citation 2017).
1. Introduction. Mantey et al., defines "galamsey" as the practice of illicitly mining and/or extracting gold found either at or below soil and water surface in Ghana. It is an illegal or unregulated form of artisanal small scale gold mining (ASM) and could either be in a stand-alone mining mode, a stand-alone processing or gold extraction mode or in a …
Northwest Ghana is increasingly becoming an important metallogenic province for gold, due to the discovery of various gold camps by Azumah Resources Limited, namely, the Duri-Basabli, Doggo-Yagha ...
Fluid inclusions in vein quartz from 10 granitoid-hosted gold deposits and prospects in the Birimian terrane of Ghana, as well as from the Sansu mine (Ashanti shear zone type) and quartz veins in the nonmineralized Princess Town granodiorite, were studied by microthermometry and Raman microspectrometry. ... Gold deposition within the …
The Bogosu-Prestea mining district of southwestern Ghana is a 33 km section of the Early Proterozoic Ashanti Gold Belt. Greenschist facies carbonaceous and carbonate-bearing turbidites and greywackes, and mafic dikes host numerous economic mesothermal gold deposits. Structurally higher ores in the Bogosu concession have brittle deformation and …
This study aimed to assess the spatial distribution, contamination levels, pollution degree and ecological risks of eight heavy metals (Cd, Cr, Co, Cu, Mn, Ni, Pb and Zn) in topsoils of UMaT, Brahabobom, A'koon, Boboobo and Bogoso Junction (areas in Tarkwa, a mining town in Ghana). Eighty soil samples were collected, and metal …
This research was conducted in the Amansie West and South Districts (AWSD) of rural Ghana, located between Longitude 6.05°, 6.35° West and Latitude 1.40°, 2.05° North (Map 1). These districts account for 5% of Ghana's Ashanti region total land area and cover a total of 1230 km 2.
Hammond and Shimazaki (Citation 1994) described the gold deposition from fluids with δ 18 O water; +9.6‰ to +13.9‰ and δD fluid inclusion; −29‰ to −65‰ in their analysis of the Prestea mesothermal vein gold deposit in the Birimian system of Ghana. This shows that a metamorphic source is responsible for the ore-forming fluid's ...
