The mining industry, particularly gold may be said to be as old as human civilisation. The history of the extraction of minerals in the various indigenous societies across the world will attest to this. In Ghana, the history of small scale gold mining dates as far back as the 4th century when indigenous craftsmen made use of gold in diverse ways (Hayford et al., 2008). The search for gold took a higher dimension in 1471, when the Europeans arrived and the silent trade began. Commercial scale gold mining, however, is believed to have commenced in Ghana during the 19th century by the British (Tsikata, 1997; cited by Hayford et al., 2008:1).
