By Kofi Ahovi A recent air-borne survey conducted over the Volta and Keta Basins and other areas including Nkwanta, Hohoe, Akwatia and Konongo have shown a good potential for discovery of new resources in gold and base metals such as iron, nickel and chrome. The survey conducted by Fugro Airbone Surveys Limited, an international organization which specializes in low-level airborne geophysical and remote sensing surveys, is under the Mining Sector Support Programme (MSSP) sponsored by the European Commission and government of Ghana. According to the survey, the satellite imagery acquired and interpreted through the Versatile Time-Domain Electromagnetic (VTEM) system provides a framework for future geological mapping. The objectives of the survey was to enhance the processing and interpretation skills of the Geological Survey Department(GSD) geophysicists, test hypothetical possibilities of the occurrence of sediment-hosted base metal mineralization and diamondiferous kimberlites as well...
