The Damang Mine, formerly operated by Gold Fields Ghana Limited, has been officially handed over to Engineers and Planners following the company’s successful bid for the concession.
The handover ceremony took place at the mine site on Saturday, April 18, 2026, where the Minister for Lands and Natural Resources, Emmanuel Armah-Kofi Buah, performed the symbolic transfer.
Speaking after the ceremony, the Chief Executive Officer of Engineers and Planners, Ibrahim Mahama, highlighted his three-decade association with the Damang Mine and pledged major investments to benefit surrounding communities.
“I would say that, look, if we all put our minds together, this is a success story. And the plan I have for Damang Mine is not a joke. I just want to prove that we can invest in ourselves in this country,” he said.
Mahama also outlined ambitious infrastructure plans, including the construction of a concrete road linking Damang to Cape Coast within two years and the development of an airport within six months.
He said the projects are intended to drive economic growth and demonstrate the capacity of local companies to manage large-scale mining operations.
