Guides to Alluvial Gold Exploration in Ghana
Abstract
This paper, the second of our series on alluvial gold exploration in Ghana, discusses some of the causes of the failures of placer gold exploration programmes in the country that were identified in the first article. The need to recognize and rectify the common lapses and peccadilloes displayed by Ghanaian exploration personnel is important because mining is a prime risk venture. As the issue is not what to do but rather how best to accomplish the task, the discussion emphasizes methodology of alluvial gold exploration and offers some guidelines which, it is hoped, would assist the beginner and refresh the experienced.
