The Minerals Commission working with the Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources has constructed two weigh bridges at Apemanim in the Ahanta West District of the Western Region and in Awaso in the Bibiani-Anhwiaso-Bekwai Municipality of the Western Region.

This is to track and confirm actual volumes of bulk minerals (bauxite and manganese) produced and hauled from the mines to the Takoradi Port by Ghana Bauxite Company Limited and Manganese company Limited for shipment.

The construction of weigh bridges was also to ensure that the quantum of export of bulk minerals is not misrepresented.
