Look at Dr Manu's background!

JOHNSON MANU, Ph.D. Geology

Dr. J. Manu is a graduate of Geology from the University of Ghana and holds a Masters and Ph.D. degree in Mineralogy/Economic Geology from Technical University of Braunschweig, Germany. Dr. Manu also completed an MBA Finance at the University of Ghana and is a senior lecturer in the Department of Geology, University of Ghana. He is the author of various publications on the geology of Ghana’s Birimian Gold Belt. While teaching, supervising and evaluating final year student projects, he is also an external examiner for Masters and Ph.D. student theses and reviewer for the Ghana Mining Journal and Journal of the University of Science and Technology. He has been involved in the preparation of technical reports for the UNDP regarding the exploration of gold, diamond and industrial mineral development in Ghana. His research includes determination of physical/chemical factors for the formation of Birimian gold in Ghana and he has consulted in the development of gold exploration activities for many Ghanaian companies and entrepreneurs. Dr. Manu is committed in involving Ghanaian nationals in the development of mineral resources and is providing education, a model framework for small scale miners and organizing the necessary aide and assistance for the peoples of Ghana. He is fluent in both English and German and a member of the Ghana Institute of Geoscientists and Ghana Science Association.
