We’re already subsidising gov’t – Chamber of Mines flags extra cost of Ghana’s local content push

Ken Ashigbey The Ghana Chamber of Mines has warned that Ghana’s push to process and refine gold locally will come with additional costs for mining companies, urging government to share the burden of building the country’s local refining capacity.

Chief Executive Officer of the Chamber, Dr Ken Ashigbey, said local content and beneficiation are important, but the cost implications must be addressed through collaboration between government and industry.

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.
