The Prestea Gold belt is a typical Birimian vol-canic gold belt. Birimian volcanic gold belts gen-erally extend for more than 100 km in length and up to 40 km in width and are separated by basins of isoclinally folded metasedimentary rocks aver-aging 90 km in width. The belts consist predomi-nantly of metamorphosed tholeiitic to calc-alkalineWeb

Gold deposits in Ghana are mostly characterized by Paleoproterozoic Birimian and Tarkwaian sedimentary rock types which are associated with disseminated sulphides (Dzigbodi-Adjimah, 1993; Akoto and Anning, 2021; Kazapoe et al., 2022). They are rich in sulphide minerals which results in the production of sulphide ore in the mining areas.Web
