The Damang Mine, previously run by Gold Fields Ghana Limited, has been formally transferred to Engineers and Planners after the firm won the concession bid.
The handover event was held at the mine site on Saturday, April 18, 2026, where Lands and Natural Resources Minister, Emmanuel Armah-Kofi Buah, carried out the symbolic transfer.
After the ceremony, Engineers and Planners Chief Executive Officer, Ibrahim Mahama, referenced his 30-year connection to the Damang Mine and promised significant investments to support nearby 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 revealed bold infrastructure goals, including building a concrete road connecting Damang to Cape Coast within two years and constructing an airport within six months.He said the initiatives aim to spur economic development and showcase the ability of local firms to handle major mining operations.
