Jinapor, has indicated that the government\u2019s quest to build an integrated aluminium industry is on course, and progressing steadily.<\/p>\n<p>He said this is in line with the Ghana Integrated Aluminium Development Corporation Act, 2018 (Act 976), which establishes the Ghana Integrated Aluminium Development Corporation (GIADEC) to promote and develop an integrated aluminium industry in the country.<\/p>\n<p>The Minister said this when he opened a two-day Workshop on the downstream aluminium industry in Akosombo in the Eastern Region.<\/p>\n<p>The workshop was organised by GIADEC, in partnership with the Strategic Anchor Industries Unit of the Ministry of Trade and Industry and the Overseas Development Institute (ODI).<\/p>\n<p>It brought together stakeholders in the aluminium industry to deliberate on policy options and implementation plan for the downstream aluminium industry.<\/p>\n<p>Delivering the keynote address at the workshop, Mr. Jinapor emphasised the need to add value to the country\u2019s mineral resources to ensure optimal benefit.<\/p>\n<p>He said the government has since 2017 been pursuing this path for all our mineral resources including gold, bauxite, iron ore, lithium and other green minerals.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking specifically on bauxite, Mr. Jinapor said while the raw ore sells for around Sixty US Dollars (US$60.00) per metric tonne, primary aluminium, produced from bauxite, sells for over Two Thousand US Dollars (US$2,000.00) per metric tonne. He said Ghana has an estimated bauxite resource base of over nine hundred million metric tonnes (900,000,000Mt), capable of creating some two million sustainable jobs, and generating over One Trillion US Dollars in revenue if fully integrated. Unfortunately, we have, over the years, failed to make the needed investment in this area.<\/p>\n<p>He expressed Government\u2019s optimism on the contribution of a fully-integrated aluminium industry to socio-economic development.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is for this reason that in 2018, the President of the Republic, H.E. Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, took that bold decision to establish, by an Act of Parliament, the Ghana Integrated Aluminium Development Corporation (GIADEC), to promote and develop an integrated aluminium industry, here in our country,\u201d the Minster said.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>By Jamila Akweley Okertchiri<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!-- AI CONTENT END 2 -->\n\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mr Jinapor exchanging greetings with an official \u00a0 The Minister for Lands and Natural Resources, Samuel A.
