Engineers & Planners (E&P) Co.

Ltd.

has fiercely defended its $100 million acquisition of the Azumah gold concession in the Upper West Region, declaring it a landmark commercial deal and rejecting any attempts to politicise the transaction.

The company issued a detailed statement stressing that the purchase was initiated long before the 2024 elections and should be seen as a game-changer for Ghana's mining sector, one that finally places a major gold mine in fully Ghanaian hands.
