This would be the highest in three years, and would consolidate Ghana\u2019s position as the largest gold producer on the continent,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Mortoti,\u00a0 however,\u00a0 mentioned that\u00a0 despite all the successes achieved by the sector, the main\u00a0 risks to the overall mining production outlook in 2024 includes high fiscal and regulatory costs, encroachment of concessions by illegal miners, and policy issues among others.<\/p>\n<p><strong>By Ebenezer K.
