Two long-stalled gold projects in Ghana’s Upper West Region are set for revival. Engineers & Planners (E&P) has acquired full ownership of Azumah Resources Ghana Ltd and Upwest Resources Ghana Ltd.
The takeover ends nearly two decades of delays caused by disputes, investor shifts, and lack of funding. With gold prices above $3,000 per ounce, E&P plans to fast-track mine development. The company has pledged to clear genuine debts, ensure transparency, and deploy secured funding. This marks a rare case of indigenous ownership in a sector often dominated by foreign firms.
Communities in Wa express cautious hope for jobs and infrastructure but demand environmental safeguards. The deal is seen as a test of whether local companies can deliver world-class mining operations.
