Local gold refining will come with additional costs – Chamber of Mines
Ken Ashigbey The Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Chamber of Mines, Dr Ken Ashigbey, says Ghana’s push to refine gold locally will come with additional costs for industry players, but the country must be prepared to absorb some of the financial burden to retain more value from its mineral resources.
Government need to embrace industry to all work together so that we all can reduce the cost of doing this, because we’re looking at the issues of value,” he said.
He, however, stressed that the burden should not be left to mining companies alone, arguing that government and industry must work together to make local refining commercially sustainable.
