Executives of Gold Fields Ghana have held discussions with officials of the Minerals Income Investment Fund (MIIF) to review the company’s operations in the country, explore potential investment opportunities for the Fund and identify areas for collaboration.

The meeting, which took place on Thursday, December 18, 2025, underscored the importance of Gold Fields’ presence in Ghana, where its operations contribute about 31 per cent of the company’s total global production.

The Gold Fields Ghana delegation was led by Senior Vice President and Managing Director, Elliot Twum, and included the Regional Head of Corporate Affairs, Emma Morrison, as well as the Head of Human Resources, William Empeh. The MIIF team was led by the Fund’s Chief Technical Officer, Kwabena Barning, together with other senior management officials.

In his presentation, Mr Twum outlined the key pillars behind Gold Fields’ strong operational performance in Ghana, noting that these factors would continue to underpin the company’s contributions to the sector. He identified an experienced technical and management team, strong organisational governance, a robust Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) framework, Ghana’s substantial mineral resource potential and the country’s status as a tier-one mining jurisdiction as central to the company’s success.

“Taken together, these elements demonstrate our firm commitment to sustaining operations and advancing asset development in Ghana,” he said.

Mr Twum also highlighted Gold Fields’ ESG initiatives, including the establishment of Ghana’s first mine foundation, the construction of a 33-kilometre asphalted Tarkwa–Damang road at a cost of US$27 million, a US$13 million stadium with a 10,000-seat capacity, and the rehabilitation of tailings storage facilities into productive farmland.

He noted that these efforts earned the company the “Best Green Mine” and “Best Performer in Environmental Management” awards in 2024.

The MIIF delegation welcomed the engagement and expressed interest in deepening collaboration with Gold Fields, particularly in areas such as knowledge sharing, capacity building and other initiatives of mutual benefit.
