Due to the progressive policies and programmes we have been implementing, under the distinguished leadership of President Akufo-Addo, we have three (3) new gold mines currently under construction, one by Newmont in the middle belt of the country, and two in Northern Ghana, by Cardinal Namdini and Azumah Resources, with Cardinal Namdini\u2019s Project expected to pour its first gold this year,\u201d he stressed.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, with such new mines, and the expansion of existing ones, Ghana expects to increase gold output to some four point five million ounces (4,500,000 oz), annually.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPursuant to the vision of President Akufo-Addo to ensure that we derive optimal benefits from our mineral resources, we have constructed, through a Public Private Partnership, a four hundred kilogramme (400kg) capacity gold refinery, to refine the gold we produce, and we are working with the relevant stakeholders to secure a London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) certification, and I am happy to report, in this regard, that I held, this morning, fruitful deliberations with South Africa\u2019s Rand Refinery,\u201d he emphasised.<\/p>\n<p>Commenting on Ghana\u2019s other minerals, the Minister noted \u201cWe are leveraging on our over nine hundred million metric tonnes (900,000,000MMt) of bauxite resources to build an integrated aluminium industry in Ghana. The Ghana Integrated Aluminium Development Corporation (GIADEC), the statutory body we have established to promote and develop an integrated aluminium industry, currently, is working to build the full value chain of this resource and its linkages in Ghana and thereby feed the second largest smelter in sub-Saharan Africa, the Volta Aluminium Company (VALCO), which is located in our industrial city of Tema.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, he stated, \u201cWe are in partnership with the private sector to construct a Four Hundred and Fifty Million US Dollars (US$450,000,000.00) manganese refinery, to refine the manganese we produce, while the Ghana Integrated Iron and Steel Development Corporation (GIISDEC), is working to leverage on our iron ore resources to build an integrated iron and steel industry. And we have just begun the processes for the exploitation of our lithium resources, to contribute to the green energy transition.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To ensure optimal benefit from the Trillion Dollar lithium \u2013 battery industry, he said Government has committed to ensure value addition to Ghana\u2019s lithium resources, and retain, as much as practicable, the highest end of the value chain, in accordance with her Green Minerals Policy.<\/p>\n<p>He stressed that \u201cunder NO circumstance will we export our lithium resources in their raw state.<\/p>\n<p>There are, still, enormous opportunities across the entire value chain of the industry, exploration, mining, refining, processing, and downstream industry, as well as opportunities in mine support services, such as contract mining, drilling and blasting, equipment supply, and assay laboratory.<\/p>\n<p>Already, due to our strategic location, mine support services operating in the country use Ghana as the base to operate in the West African region. Thankfully, the Africa Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) is creating a single market for such businesses within the continent, and as host of the AfCFTA Secretariat, investors can use Ghana as a launch-pad to reach the rest of the continent,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>By Samuel Boadi<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!-- AI CONTENT END 2 -->\n\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Samuel Abu Jinapor\u00a0 \u00a0 Minister for Lands and Natural Resources Samuel Abi Jinapor, has beckoned investors in South Africa, to come and invest in Ghana\u2019s flourishing minerals sector.
