Ghana and Gold Fields reach transitional deal on Damang mine

By: Creamer media

Last week, Ghana assumed operational control of the mine after it rejected an application from the South African company to renew its lease, breaking a tradition of automatically renewing licenses.

The presidency said in a statement that a new 12-month mining lease will be issued to a Gold Fields' subsidiary pending parliamentary ratification in May.

During the transition period, Gold Fields will resume open-pit mining and conduct feasibility studies to establish Damang's reserves and mine life, the presidency said in a statement.

Damang is the smaller of Gold Fields' two operations in Ghana, Africa's leading gold producer.
