The event, themed <em>\u201cMinerals Value Addition and Value Chain Development \u2013 Essential Tools for Ghana\u2019s Development,\u201d<\/em> provided a crucial platform for discussions on enhancing Ghana\u2019s mining sector through value addition, governance, and sustainable practices.<\/p>\n<p>Bringing together key stakeholders, including government officials, industry leaders, civil society organizations, policymakers, the media etc. the conference served as a collective effort to explore how Ghana can capitalize on its mineral wealth to drive long-term economic growth.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mining: The First Pillar of Ghana\u2019s Economy<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Opening the conference, Edward Nana Yaw Koranteng, CEO of MIIF, reminded attendees of MIIF\u2019s mandate, saying, \u201cIt is important to rehash what MIIF is and the role we play and also some of the strides we have made. The Minerals Income Investment Fund was set up by statute (Act 978) in 2018 with a three-pronged mandate.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Receive and manage mineral royalties on behalf of the government.<\/li>\n<li>Manage the equity interest of the state in all large-scale mines in which the State has a carried interest and<\/li>\n<li>Invest the royalties on behalf of the people in a transparent, beneficial, accountable, and sustainable way.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>He also emphasized that the Fund\u2019s mandate is underpinned by the vision to make mining the first pillar of the Ghanaian economy by investing in value addition for every single mineral type, increase Ghanaian equity in the mining majors and support the mining value chain towards an extensive localization of value which will create Ghanaian mining champions. \u201cI believe we are on an upward trajectory in line with this vision, but a lot more needs to be done.,\u201d Mr. Koranteng added.<\/p>\n<p><strong>MIIF\u2019s Strategic Growth and Ambitious Future<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Since its inception in 2018, MIIF has grown its assets from $180 million to over $1 billion. Mr. Koranteng shared MIIF\u2019s ambitious vision for the future: \u201cOver the next decade, we aim to grow our assets under management to $6 billion, creating sustainable generational wealth for all Ghanaians. This growth will be driven by our investments in value addition, technology, and expanding our royalties net.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He also outlined MIIF\u2019s key investment initiatives, including a $60 million investment into Ghana\u2019s burgeoning lithium and salt industries. \u201cOur investments in lithium and salt position Ghana as a leader in critical minerals essential for the global shift towards renewable energy and electric vehicles. We are setting a model for other African nations to follow,\u201d Mr. Koranteng noted.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Expanding the Royalties Net<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Mr. Koranteng announced MIIF\u2019s strategic framework agreement with the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA), Ghana Standards Authority, Minerals Commission (Mincom) and EOCO to ensure that all mining companies meet their royalty obligations. \u201cWe are using technology to track production levels and ensure compliance from mining companies. This will expand our revenue base, increasing the funds available for reinvestment into the sector,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n<p>He further shared MIIF\u2019s plans to introduce a dividend payout policy that ensures financial independence for the Fund and streamlines payments to the Government. \u201cThis policy will cement MIIF\u2019s independence,\u201d Mr. Koranteng emphasized.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Collaboration for Sustainable Growth and Value Addition<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A recurring theme throughout the conference was the importance of mineral value addition. Honourable George Mireku Duker, Deputy Minister of Lands and Natural Resources, underscored the need for Ghana to focus on processing minerals locally. \u201cBy focusing on refining and adding value to our minerals before exporting, we can retain a larger share of the economic benefits and reduce our reliance on raw mineral exports,\u201d Hon. Mireku Duker said.<\/p>\n<p>The Minister further stressed that local content policies must be enforced to ensure that Ghanaian businesses and entrepreneurs play a central role in the mining sector. He encouraged MIIF to explore value addition opportunities across the mining sector, urging the Fund to work with the private sector and the Ghana Geological Survey Authority to establish a mineral exploration fund. \u201cOur aim is to set up downstream industries in mining catchment areas, creating jobs and enhancing local economies. MIIF must continue its role as a catalyst in supporting local entrepreneurship,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the Minister stressed the need for MIIF to create a more advanced system for tracking production along the mining value chain to ensure proper reconciliation of mineral royalties owed to the State. He urged MIIF to collaborate with relevant government ministries, including Lands, Finance, and National Security, to combat gold smuggling and the illicit financing of mineral projects.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Africa\u2019s Critical Role in Global Mineral Supply Chains<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A key presentation at the conference was delivered by David Ofosu-Dorte, Senior Partner at AB &amp; David, who spoke on the importance of leveraging Africa\u2019s mineral resources in value-added global supply chains. \u201cAfrica has always been rich in resources, but we must be intentional in adding value and taking our rightful place in the global supply chain. The Africa Mining Vision and Agenda 2063 provide a framework for achieving this through regional cooperation and innovation,\u201d Ofosu-Dorte remarked.<\/p>\n<p>He emphasized the importance of Ghana\u2019s leadership in showcasing how African nations can turn raw minerals into high-value products that drive local industries and create jobs. \u201cMIIF\u2019s role is critical in ensuring that Ghana\u2019s mining sector becomes a model for others to follow, with a focus on value addition, sustainability, transparency, and innovation,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Stakeholder Engagement: A Path to Responsible Resource Management<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The conference also emphasized the significance of stakeholder engagement in ensuring that Ghana\u2019s mineral resources are managed responsibly. The panel discussion, moderated by Dr. Kwasi Ampofo, Head of Metals and Mining at BloombergNEF, further explored the theme of the Conference. On the panel were Edward Nana Yaw Koranteng, CEO of MIIF, Mr. Frederick Attakumah, Ghana Country Director of Asante Gold Corporation, Kwaku Ampromfi, Group CEO, McDan Group, Denis Gyeyir, Africa Senior Programme Officer at the Natural Resource Governance Institute, and Dr. Steve Manteaw, Co-Chair of the Ghana Extractive Industry Transparency Initiative (GHEITI). The conversations focused on value addition to Ghana\u2019s minerals resources, with the panel calling for more transparency in the investments and initiatives of the Fund.<\/p>\n<p>Denis Gyeyir, Africa Senior Programme Officer at the Natural Resource Governance Institute (NRGI), praised the policy initiative but urged for an amended MIIF Act to institutionalize good practices. He highlighted the importance of reforms to avoid past mistakes, particularly referencing Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC) Explorco\u2019s issues with dividend payout due to the absence of a clear policy. \u201cThe dividend payout policy is critical,\u201d Mr. Gyeyir remarked. \u201cWe\u2019ve seen it with GNPC Explorco, where government interests in oil blocks were handed over without the proper payout structure in place. We need to learn from<\/p>\n<p>The panel also highlighted successful case studies from other countries, showing how responsible mining practices can lead to sustainable development. \u201cGhana has a unique opportunity to demonstrate that mineral wealth can be managed in a way that benefits everyone while protecting our natural resources,\u201d the panel concluded.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Support for Local Entrepreneurs and Expanding Industries<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In line with its mandate to support local businesses, MIIF\u2019s GHS25 million investment in Injaro Ghana Venture Capital Fund, a company providing financial backing to firms in the mining supply chain, was highlighted as a key initiative. \u201cThis investment enables local companies to access funding, compete with international firms, empowering our entrepreneurs to take full advantage of the opportunities within the sector,\u201d Mr. Koranteng stated.<\/p>\n<p>A particular emphasis was placed on Ghana\u2019s potential in salt production. \u201cCompanies like Electrochem have the potential to elevate Ghana into the ranks of the top 10 salt-producing nations,\u201d Mr. Koranteng shared. He called for institutional support to ensure that local entrepreneurs succeed in this endeavour. \u201cOur role at MIIF is to support these industries not only through financing but also by providing the governance and transparency needed for success.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-450872\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/MIIF-300x200.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"674\" height=\"449\"  \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>The Road Ahead: Building a Sustainable Future<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Mr. Koranteng reiterated MIIF\u2019s commitment to ensuring that Ghana\u2019s mineral wealth drives long-term economic transformation. \u201cThe future is bright. With our strategic investments, expanding royalties net, and focus on sustainability, MIIF will continue to play a key role in Ghana\u2019s economic growth. Our goal is not just wealth creation for today, but sustainable generational wealth for all Ghanaians.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As MIIF looks to the future, its efforts will remain focused on promoting transparency, fostering innovation, and ensuring that the benefits of Ghana\u2019s mineral wealth are shared equitably across the nation.<\/p>\n<p>As charged by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, MIIF\u2019s role extends beyond funding and equity positions in mines. The Fund is working to support the building of a fully-fledged mining industry with investments across the mining value delivery chain, including capacity building, capital markets, commodity trading, and research and development.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Conclusion and Next Steps<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The MIIF Stakeholder Conference ended with a collective understanding that Ghana must do more to maximize the benefits of its natural resources through value addition, sustainable practices, and improved governance. Participants reiterated the need for collaboration between government, private sector players, and civil society to ensure that the wealth generated from Ghana\u2019s mineral resources benefits all citizens.<\/p>\n<p>The conference also called for ongoing stakeholder engagement to ensure that policies and initiatives reflect the needs of all parties involved.
