Extractives

Ghana's mineral output and exports as recorded by the Minerals Commission, from 1990 to 2024: one row per company (or sector total), mineral, period and measure. Production rows give the quantity mined; export rows give the quantity exported and its value in US dollars. Gold and silver are in troy ounces, bauxite and manganese in tonnes, diamonds in carats. Before 2013 there are only national annual totals; from 2013 each large-scale mine is given month by month, with small-scale gold (gold bought from small-scale miners), silver and diamonds as sector totals; exports are by company and month only from 2022, and annual sector totals before that. Rows with is_total true are the Commission's sector totals, so do not add them to company rows; a few months repeat one figure spread evenly by the source, flagged in notes. Sourced from the Minerals Commission of Ghana, published by the Minerals Commission. 4164 records.
