President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo Addo last Friday inaugurated Cardinal Namdini Limited in the Talensi District in the Upper East Region, taking Ghana a significant step towards solidifying its position as Africa\u2019s leading gold producer.<\/p>\n
The occasion also marked the first pouring of gold and the official opening by the President with the opera\u00adtionalisation of Cardinal Namdini, making it the larg\u00adest single-stream mine in the West African sub-region.<\/p>\n
In his inaugural speech, President Akufo-Addo stat\u00aded that the establishment of the mine marks another great step towards positioning Ghana as a premier hub for mining activities in Africa.<\/p>\n
He disclosed that his government, since its incep\u00adtion in 2017, had embarked on a mission to expand Ghana\u2019s natural resource base and that the Ghana Geological Survey Authority had received enormous support and funding to actualise this vision.<\/p>\n
The President stated that the setting up of Cardinal Namdini Mine was indicative of the wealth of mineral resources embedded in the northern part of the coun\u00adtry and that these resources would be harnessed for the growth of the area and the country.<\/p>\n
He stated that the creation of the Cardinal Nam\u00addini Mine was a significant step by the government towards fulfilling its promise to Ghanaians to create jobs and empower citizens economically.<\/p>\n
\u201cToday marks yet another significant milestone towards the realisation of the vision to make Ghana the mining hub of Africa, where all mining and min\u00ading-related activities, from exploration to downstream production, and research to innovation, would be centred,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis Mine we inaugurate today is evidence of the power of exploration as the lifeblood of the min\u00ading industry. For years, this area, and several other areas within this northern belt of our country, have only been known for small-scale mining. Large-scale mining firms have concentrated on the south, largely influenced by the literature that links gold only to the south of our nation.<\/p>\n
Enumerating the achievements of the government in the mining sector, President Akufo-Addo noted that, since its inception, the government had worked diligently to create the enabling environment and legal framework for mining companies to thrive in the country.<\/p>\n
President Akufo-Addo charged the company to adhere strictly to the country\u2019s mining regulations and also mine within the scope of Ghana\u2019s policies and commitments towards the environment.<\/p>\n
The Minister of Lands and Natural Resources, Mr Samuel A. Jinapor, disclosed some of the measures implemented by the government to facilitate the smooth operations of large-scale mining companies in the northern part of the country and attract investors to that part of the country.<\/p>\n
In the next couple of weeks, he disclosed, the President will cut sod for the commencement of work on the US$450 million manganese refinery at Nsuta in the Western Region, to be funded by the parent company of Ghana Manganese Company.<\/p>\n
The Chinese Ambassador to Ghana, Mr Tong Defa, detailed his happiness with the establishment of the mine project and commended President Akufo-Ad\u00addo for his commitment to the mining industry and determination to deepen the relations between Ghana and China.<\/p>\n
He stated that Cardinal Namdini Gold Mine which saw over $ 1 billion dollar investment was yet another testimony to China\u2019s commitment to be Ghana\u2019s fore\u00admost strategic partner.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
