These contradictions and perceptions have resurfaced, following the reopening of the AngloGold Ashanti Obuasi Mine by President Akufo-Addo last week. These concessions have enabled an $881-million investment to be made in the requisite redevelopment of the mine, equity and debt inclusive. But for us at the Daily Graphic, the reopening of the Obuasi Mine is good for the economy of the country. But the most important benefit to be derived from the reactivation of the mine will be the soaring of the country’s reputation as an attractive destination for global mining industry players. For us, the contribution that the reopened Obuasi Mine will make to the economy of Ghana is real and, indeed, key to its economic fortunes, going forward.
