The Minerals Income Investment Fund (MIIF) has announced a record collection of GH¢5.43 billion in mineral royalties, marking one of the most significant revenue milestones in Ghana’s mining sector.
The achievement reflects strong mineral production levels and improved royalty management systems designed to ensure Ghana benefits more from its natural resources.

Gold remains the country’s leading mineral export, contributing significantly to national revenue and foreign exchange inflows.
Investment Opportunities

Funds generated are often directed toward infrastructure, industrial development and strategic investments aimed at strengthening Ghana’s economic resilience.
Strengthening Resource Governance
Experts say improved transparency and revenue monitoring have helped increase mineral royalty collections in recent years.
Why This Matters
Higher mineral revenue strengthens Ghana’s economic stability, supports development initiatives and ensures that the country gains greater value from its natural resources.
