The year 2010 marks the entry of Terra-S into the market of Ghana by assuming operation of a 50 acre under-developed granite quarry in Shai Hills of the Greater Accra Region. Through a combination of capital investment, appropriate heavy machinery, qualified workforce, sound management and professional expertise Terra-S was able to turn the quarry into a steadily-operating revenue-generating site producing high quality aggregate and boulder products.

Successful operation relies primarily on detailed planning and clear appreciation of the rock geology. The Terra-S team was able to efficiently and effectively operate the Shai Hills Quarry through;

• strategic blasting plans based on clear understanding of the rock geology,
• strict preventive maintenance schedules (daily, weekly, monthly and annual),
• preparation to handle contingencies in a timely fashion, and
• coherent and cooperative workforce

Throughout its presence in the Shai Hills area, Terra-S maintained excellent and respectful relations with the local tribes and population.

*Terra-S provides product transportation services for its customers.

Terra-S is launching operations in the Western Region, specifically in the Enchi and Wassa areas.

The importance of the mining industry is further supported by the announcement of the Ghana Chamber of Mines that the mining industry accounts for about 7% of the country's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and mineral exports make up 42% of total merchandise exports. Over the past decade, the mining sector has consistently been the highest gross foreign exchange earner.

• The Enchi project is a granite quarry operation to supply aggregates suitable for road base in excess of 300,000m3 for a 25km highway under contract by Big Aidoo Construction.
• The Wasa project is to provide aggregates for the Wassa Gold Mine operations.
