The Commission reinforced its pivotal role in advancing responsible mining and sustainable local content development through its active participation in the 2025 Mining Industry Marketing Expo (MIME). The event, organized by the Ghana Chamber of Mines in partnership with key sector stakeholders, was held at the University of Mines and Technology (UMaT) in Tarkwa from November 12-13, 2025. This annual forum convened industry leaders, businesses, and policymakers to explore pathways toward sustainable growth and enhanced local participation in Ghana’s mining sector.

Led by Madam Victoria Awuni, Deputy CEO for Policy Planning, Mineral Titles & Local Content, and Mr. Ben Birch-Mensah, Director of Local Content, the Commission’s delegation presented a range of strategic policies and programs designed to empower Ghanaian enterprises within the mining value chain. Through a dedicated exhibition booth, the Commission offered stakeholders an interactive platform to engage with regulatory frameworks, licensing procedures, and supplier development opportunities.

A central feature of the Expo was the Business-to-Business (B2B) Sessions, which enabled direct dialogue between mining companies, input manufacturers, and local suppliers. The Commission’s involvement in these sessions highlighted its ongoing commitment to fostering collaboration, promoting value addition, and facilitating meaningful partnerships within the industry.

By taking part in MIME 2025, the Commission reiterated its dedication to cultivating an enabling environment where local businesses can thrive. These efforts align with the broader objective of ensuring that Ghana’s mining sector remains competitive, inclusive, and anchored in sustainable national development.
