Ghana's mining

sector shrank and
gold production fell
in 2020, industry

body says

Ghana's gold production fell 12% in 2020 to
4.02 million ounces, from 4.57 million ounces
in 2019, the country's Chamber of Mines
said on Friday, but retained its position as
Africa's top gold producer despite the impact
of the coronavirus pandemic. The decline in
production was the country's biggest since
2004, Chamber of Mines President Eric
Asubonteng said.

Gold production by Ghana's large-scale
mines fell 4.8% to 2.8 million ounces in
2020, while the small-scale gold sector was
more heavily impacted as the pandemic
disrupted supply chains.
