ABSTRACT
Africa is often described as a paradox of plenty. This means that the continent is mineral-rich but the poorest and most conflicted in the world. This chapter uses the case of Ghana and gives an overview of mineral deposits and the contribution of mining to the Ghana’s economy. The mining sector of Ghana is regulated by the Minerals and Mining Act 703 (2006), which also serves as the institutional and legal framework for the sector. This chapter then identifies and discuss the various stakeholders and their roles in the mining industry of Ghana.
