The Managing Director of Heath Goldfields Ltd., Ing. Patrick Appiah Mensah, has been named CEO of the Year in the Mining category at the 2026 Ghana CEO Awards.

The recognition celebrates his leadership and contribution to the mining industry, as well as his role in steering Heath Goldfields Ltd. and advancing its operations.

The award places Appiah Mensah among business leaders recognised for their work across different sectors of Ghana’s economy. The Ghana CEO Awards honours chief executives whose leadership, business performance and contributions have made an impact within their respective industries.

His recognition in the mining category also highlights the importance of leadership in an industry that plays a significant role in Ghana’s economy through investment, employment creation and revenue generation.
