On Wednesday, August 23, 2023, George Mireku Duker, deputy Lands and Natural Resources Minister received a 5-member delegation from Ansong-Askew Company Limited with their partners from Peru at the Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources.
This is a further engagement after previous visit to Ghana and subsequent meeting at the 2023 OECD Conference held in Paris, France.
Ansong-Askew and partners are committed to establish an LBMA-certified processing and refinery solution which will purposely take feed from Small-Scale Miners in the Country.
The company has track records in the development of such ASM processing solutions in South America, especially in Peru.
Managing Partners of the Company, James Askew and Elena Ansong indicated their readiness to kick-start the project soon.
The deputy minister assured them of Government’s commitment to ensure the Small-Scale Mining Architecture is well controlled and hence, their proposal fits within our vision.
He again assured them of a stable Democracy and regulatory regime to protect their investment.
