Head of Operations, Brett Thompson, says the majority of the workforce is from Obuasi and surrounding communities.
“At the moment because we have a large number of constructional activities going on in the processing plant, there are additional people coming in. We probably have in excess of 3,000 on-site currently and for permanent employees, we are still recruiting the people for the processing plants,” he said.

The agreement, worth $375m, is for developing mechanised and underground mining expertise in Ghana’s local mining and engineering sector.
“As the mining operations suspend further, we will introduce new activities. Right now we are only developing but towards the end of this year, we will establish stoping activities and then mid next year, we will bring on some major infrastructure refurbishment,” Mr. Thompson said.
