Nestled on Birimian and Dahomeyan rock formations, the Asutifi North District is a hotspot for mineral potential—from gold and diamonds to high-demand sands and clays.

The Birimian formations are renowned as gold-bearing rocks from where Newmont Ghana Gold Limited currently operates gold mining within the district, signaling strong near-term production and revenue potential.

Diamond prospects exist in the district, with exploration activities anticipated to kick off in Wamahinso. If successful, diamonds could diversify the district’s mineral portfolio and attract new investments.

Widespread sand and clay resources are also abundant, particularly in Kenyasi, Gambia No.2, and Gyedu, supporting construction materials industries and artisanal sectors.

Serving as economic boost and investment magnet, active gold mining and upcoming diamond exploration are likely to drive job creation, local procurement, and infrastructure development in surrounding communities and the ongoing and planned exploration offers opportunities for investors, subcontractors, and service providers across geology, logistics, and environmental management.

There are ripple effects of infrastructure since mining activity often spurs improvements in roads, power, and water infrastructure to support operations and communities alike.

With gold already fueling activity and diamonds and agribusiness-ready sands on the horizon, the district could see a transformative era of growth—balanced by sustainable practices and strong community involvement.
