Damang Gold Mine extracted 3.45 million tonnes of material in August, marking a significant increase in production since it officially commenced operations in April 2026 under a new investor, Engineers and Planners, according to the Manager in charge of Mining at the Mine. Speaking on a special edition of Asempa FM’s Ekosiisen programme in Tarkwa on Thursday, October 22, he said the production figures demonstrated the mine’s commitment to increasing output and sustaining active mining operations.Mr Agyei said the mine extracted 647,821 tonnes of material between April 19, when operations officially began, and the end of that month. Production rose to 1.4 million tonnes in May and 1.6 million tonnes in June before reaching 3.45 million tonnes in August.In September, the mine extracted three million tonnes of material, he added.“This demonstrates that we are not relenting in our efforts to improve production,” he said.Mr Agyei also stressed that the mine was not relying solely on existing stockpiles to feed its processing plant, explaining that fresh material from active mining operations accounted for the larger share of the plant’s feed.According to him, stockpiled material contributes approximately 40% of the feed to the processing plant, while the remaining 60% comprises fresh material mined from the pits and transported to the plant for processing.The figures, he said, reflect the mine’s continued extraction activities and efforts to improve production as it advances its operations.The Damang Mine, formerly operated by Gold Fields Ghana Limited, was officially handed over to Engineers and Planners in April 2026, 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.This was after Gold Fields’ lease expired, and the government placed the concession under competitive tender supervised by the Minerals Commission.
