Barely a year after resuming operations, AngloGold Ashanti is to pour its first gold from the Obuasi Mine on today, Wednesday, January 29, 2020.
The government intervened leading to a reopening of the mine site on January 22, 2019.
The redevelopment project is scheduled to take approximately 30 months to deliver, with an approximately 22-year life of mine to produce four hundred thousand ounces of gold per annum.
AngloGold Ashanti injected an initial amount of 881 million dollars to revamp the mining concession.
The Mining giant, Anglo Gold Ashanti, says it is planning to recruit about 2,500 workers following its resolve to resume full-scale operations at its Obuasi mine.
The company is looking at recruiting more from the Obuasi community as it has already employed about 1,167 locals out of, 1,870 current workers which will rise up to 2,500 or more in the future.
