President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo Addo last Friday inaugurated Cardinal Namdini Limited in the Talensi District in the Upper East Region, taking Ghana a significant step towards solidifying its position as Africa's leading gold producer.
The occasion also marked the first pouring of gold and the official opening by the President with operationalisation of Cardinal Namdini, making it the largest single-stream mine in the West African sub-region. • President Akufo-Addo (middle) with other dignitaries pressing a button to open the Cardinal Namdini Gold Mine in Talensi, Upper East Region Cardinal Namdini, is expected to consolidate Ghana's position as one of the world's leading gold producers, with projections that the company will produce 300,000 ounces annually in the first three years.
In his inaugural speech, President Akufo-Addo stated that the establishment of the mine marks another great step towards positioning Ghana as a premier hub for mining activities in Africa.
He disclosed that his government, since its inception in 2017, had embarked on a mission to expand Ghana's natural resource base and that the Ghana Geological Survey Authority had received enormous support and funding to actualise this vision.
