The MIIF delegation was led by Kwabena Barning, Chief Technical Officer, along with other senior management members.
Among the key issues discussed, Twum, in his presentation, emphasised the pillars underpinning Gold Fields’ strong track record of operational success, which he said would continue to drive the company’s contributions going forward.
He noted that the key success factors include the presence of an experienced technical and management team, robust organisational governance, a strong Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) footprint, which he elaborated on during the discussion, the country’s significant resource potential, and Gold Fields’ operations within a tier-one mining jurisdiction.
“Collectively, these elements reflect our unwavering commitment to sustaining operations and advancing asset development in Ghana,” he added.
Speaking further on ESG, Twum highlighted the company’s establishment of Ghana’s first mine foundation, the construction of a US$27 million, 33-kilometre asphalted Tarkwa-Damang road, the US$13 million, 10,000-capacity stadium, and the rehabilitation of tailings storage facilities into productive farmland.
He noted that these initiatives earned the company the “Best Green Mine” and “Best Performer in Environmental Management” awards in 2024.
The MIIF team expressed appreciation to Gold Fields for the engagement and emphasised the Fund’s keen interest in exploring future collaboration through knowledge sharing, capacity building, and other areas of mutual benefit.
