Tarkwa is a cornerstone asset and world-class open-pit mine. Four large open pits currently exploit the narrow, stacked, auriferous conglomerates.
In March 2023, Gold Fields announced a proposed JV between Tarkwa mine in Ghana and AngloGold Ashanti’s neighbouring Iduapriem mines. The companies have agreed on the key terms, and soon after the announcement, started negotiations with the Ghanaian government and other stakeholders to formalise the JV. These negotiations are continuing.
If suitable terms for all parties can be reached, the JV will create the largest gold mine in Africa, a high-quality operation supported by a substantial mineral endowment with an initial life spanning 18 years. |
