I understand that there is good gold there as well as a considerable amount of danger, both human and animal.
But I would go if the operation was fully funded by someone with deep enough pockets to insure a successful venture.

Make sure you get your Yellow Fever shot, and protect yourself from Malaria. And, ''AWALYS'' boil your drinking water, and wash your hands with soap as often as posible. If you go I wish you the best!

Would like to find some English speaking guys that are over there to have contact with before I go anyone know any miners in Ghana lol

 

[Goodyguy]

When it comes to gold and diamonds in third world countries I'm not sure you can trust anyone.

Here is an expert you can contact in the USA, His name is Dan Pohle, possibility that he may have mining contacts in Ghana: Diamond Mining Equipment his e-mail address and ph# are listed on the site.

Keep us posted on your adventure, it would be great to see you do well and with a connection like that it would be a shame not to pursue it.
Have you watched "Jungle Gold" Heres the link for FREE full length episodes: http://dsc.discovery.com/tv-shows/jungle-gold filmed in Ghana
Doubt it has aired in the UK yet. Not sure though.

Go for the gold

I'm not sure about what kind of support the uk has for it's citizens, but the US state department has an open website with travel advisories and precautions. It's what stopped me from signing on to an exposition to the Congo. Just a little background.

Also might be prudent to do some visiting on the extreme survivalist cites. The guys who take preparing for the end of days to the extreme. They have a lot of good ideas for "bugging out." And as you're headed to an unknown and potentially dangerous area you'll want a "bug out bag." Something containing the supplies you'll need to survive and protect yourself in your environment in case you get lost in the woods.

I only say this because village doesn't exactly sound like suburbs of Seattle to me, and it's very easy to get turned around in I unfamiliar and pristine wilderness. Good luck my man! Sounds like one heck of an adventure!

You might want to check out the series " jungle gold" those dudes went threw some ---- while down there not sure if I would want to try it in such a difficult environment. Best of luck if you go for it!!

The other thing is that your "friends" dad is the chief of the village and it is the oldest sons job to bring in the food. To them you are their future Thanksgiving feast and the next time we see ya, we'll all be bidding for your shrunken head on ebay.

 

[mapatrin]

Lol I have a tiny head anyway lol, I am a little nervous but he who dares wins been speaking to a guy who does gild expeditions good idea the gold you mine while their should pay for your trip have a look at his website ghanagoldrush.com he says loads of gold but even more red tape :/

 

[mjarvis]

Not sure I believe the guy, they will tell you just about anything to bring you down and your money. It's a game of risk with little return

 

[mapatrin]

The guy i Want to do this with He's one of my best friends known him for about 15 years he has worked and lived in the uk all his life his dad is the village chief but is ill so he as oldest sAndes acting chief it makes me laugh as he is a cockney from London and he has loads more money than me lol

 

[mapatrin]

The guy in the website has been really helpful I was only probing him to get get insight but he seems really helpful he's from Montana in the USA I think lived in ghana for 4 years now.

That's good news but you better have deep pockets to go down on that kind of expedition. Do you ever see " jungle gold" series on Discovery channel You might want to check it out give you alittle more perspective on that place. The show was filmed down there.
