Seequent, a global leader in geoscience analysis, modelling, and collaborative technologies, has reaffirmed its commitment to partner with geological societies and government institutions across West and Central Africa.
The goal is to enhance mineral resource identification, attract investment, and support responsible exploration.
Seth Miah, Seequent’s Regional Manager for West Africa, highlighted this commitment during his address at the 11th West and Central Africa Mining Summit and Expo (WACA) held in Accra, Ghana.
Miah emphasized Seequent’s active role in supporting the region’s geological mapping initiatives, particularly in identifying high-value mineral resources such as gold. He noted that leveraging advanced geoscientific tools and data-driven insights can significantly improve exploration efficiency, reduce land degradation, and curb illegal mining activities.
“Seequent is well-positioned to collaborate with government agencies and geological societies in generating quality subsurface data that not only guides exploration but also builds investor confidence,” Miah said. “Accurate geological information is critical to unlocking economic value and ensuring that mining activities are carried out responsibly and sustainably.”
With mining emerging as a key pillar of economic development in the region, Seequent’s solutions — including Leapfrog, Oasis montaj, and Central — provide the technology and platforms for national geological surveys, ministries of mines, and exploration companies to collaborate more effectively.
Ghana’s Deputy Minister for Lands and Natural Resources, Alhaji Yusif Sulemana, echoed this call for collaboration during his opening address. He stressed the Ministry’s intent to deepen partnerships with the Ghana Geological Survey Authority (GGSA) to help miners identify gold deposits before exploration begins — a strategy aimed at improving efficiency and reducing haphazard land use.
This alignment between policy direction and technological capability underscores the potential for innovation to transform the mining landscape across West and Central Africa.
