The sector employs 28,000 people in the large scale mining industry whilst over 1,000,000 people are engaged in the small scale gold, diamonds, sand winning and quarry industries. In 2011, Ghana produced million ounces of gold, the highest ever in the history of the country. This resulted in export revenues of over US5billion.
