The government in Ghana is considering setting up a gold museum and a general mining museum, according to GNA.

President John Agyekum Kufuor explained that the move was to promote the development of a gold refinery and develop the market for the production and sale of jewellery made in the country.

"These projects will be fitting tributes to our mining industry and I hope the mining companies will support some of them", he said.

The president has already approved a new processing plant for Goldfields Ghana and recently unveiled a plaque to launch it.

Principles have also been set up to ensure that all mining that takes place benefits individuals and communities within Ghana.
