Economy
Tarkwaian rocks, a major source of gold, have been found near Kibi.[3] Several mining companies, including Paramount Mining Corporation, have been exploring their potential.[4] RUSAL, a major Russian Aluminium corporation, applied to the Ghana Minerals Commission and the Ghana Integrated Aluminium Industry Committee for permission to explore the Ghana bauxite deposits near Kibi.[5] The town is known for a high volume of galamsey activities, which eventually caused contamination of the Birim River.[6]
