Ghana Set to Have Its Third-largest Mine and One of The Largest Mines in Africa.

President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo will commission the Cardinal Namdini Mining Project, the largest gold mine in northern Ghana, in the first week of November.

This announcement came from the Minister of Lands and Natural Resources, Hon. Samuel A. Jinapor, during his visit to the Talensi-based project on October 24, 2024.

This is the first large-scale gold mine in the North, a truly historic milestone,” said Hon. Jinapor. “Commissioning this mine will not only bolster Ghana’s status as a leading gold producer but also as a hub for mining activity on the continent.

The project is expected to bring substantial economic benefits, including job creation and regional development in Talensi. The Hon. Minister credited the collaboration between Cardinal Namdini Mining Ltd, the Minerals Commission, and various stakeholders in setting up the mine, which includes modern, environmentally compliant equipment and operations.

“We are here to witness the progress and celebrate the impact this will have on our economy and our communities,” Jinapor added.
