The Goldlands Reclamation Bond Program
A partnership for responsible mining and guaranteed land restoration in Ghana.
The Challenge: The Land's Unwritten Debt
In the artisanal and small-scale mining (ASGM) sector, the upfront cost of land reclamation can be a significant barrier. This often leads to abandoned pits and degraded landscapes, posing long-term environmental and safety risks to communities.
Without a clear financial plan for restoration, both the land and the local economy suffer. A reclamation bond addresses this challenge head-on, ensuring that the cost of healing the land is secured before operations begin.
Our Solution: A Financial Guarantee for Restoration
A Goldlands Reclamation Bond is a financial guarantee, a promise backed by us, that the land disturbed by mining will be restored to an agreed-upon, safe, and productive state. It's a critical tool required by regulators like the Minerals Commission and EPA to issue mining permits. Our program makes this requirement accessible and manageable for ASGM operators.
Commits to a reclamation plan and obtains the bond to secure a mining permit. They are responsible for restoring the land as agreed.
Government bodies like the Minerals Commission/EPA who require the bond to ensure environmental compliance and protect public interest.
We provide the financial backing and technical expertise. If the operator fails to reclaim the land, Goldlands fulfills the obligation, ensuring the land is always restored.
