The Ghana Chamber of Mines will hold its 10th Ghana Mining Industry Awards (GMIA) on Friday, November 22, 2024, to recognize excellence and the contributions of mining companies and individuals to the development of the country.
In this regard, the Chamber officially opened nominations for the 10th Ghana Mining Industry Awards on Thursday, July 4, 2024.
The awards, which will be held in November this year, are divided into two main categories with about 20 sub-categories. The first category is based on public nominations, and the second is based on audit reports from regulatory bodies.
The Director for Analysis, Research, and Finance of the Ghana Chamber of Mines, Mr. Christopher Opoku Nyarko, disclosed this at the stakeholder engagement and official launch of the 10th Ghana Mining Industry Awards held on Thursday, July 4, 2024.
He indicated that the nomination forms would be posted on the official website of the Ghana Chamber of Mines on Monday, July 8, 2024, and encouraged companies to download and complete the forms to participate in the awards.
Mr. Nyarko emphasized the importance of prospective companies ensuring full compliance by answering all questions on the form to avoid disqualification.
“Make sure you complete all questions on the form before you submit your entries for the awards. Ensure that you don’t provide 2022 information for your company,” Mr. Nyarko advised.
He also reminded companies to avoid using complex vocabulary and to keep their answers brief, precise, and concise.
