Executives of Gold Fields Ghana met with their counterparts at the Minerals Income Investment Fund (MIIF or the Fund) on Thursday, December 18, 2025, to discuss the operations of the company, potential investment opportunities for the Fund, and areas of collaboration.
The discussions highlighted the critical role of Gold Fields’ investments in Ghana, which account for 31% of Gold Fields’ global production.
The delegation from Gold Fields Ghana Ltd was led by Mr. Elliot Twum, Senior Vice President and Managing Director; Ms. Emma Morrison, Regional Head, Corporate Affairs; and Mr. William Empeh, Head of Human Resources.
The MIIF delegation was led by Mr. Kwabena Barning, Chief Technical Officer, along with other senior management members.
Among the many topics discussed, Mr. Twum, in his presentation, stressed the pillars underpinning their strong track record of operational success, which will continue to drive contributions going forward.
The key success factors, he said, include the presence of an experienced technical and management team, robust organizational governance, a strong Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) footprint—which he elaborated on during the discussion—the country’s significant resource potential, and their presence in a tier-one mining jurisdiction.
“Collectively, these elements reflect our unwavering commitment to sustaining operations and advancing asset development in Ghana,” he added.
On ESG, Mr. Twum highlighted the company’s establishment of Ghana’s first mine foundation, the construction of a US$27 million, 33km asphalted Tarkwa-Damang road, a US$13 million 10,000-capacity stadium, and the rehabilitation of tailings storage into productive farmland.
These efforts, he noted, earned the company the “Best Green Mine” and “Best Performer in Environmental Management” awards for 2024.
The MIIF team expressed appreciation to Gold Fields for the engagement, emphasizing MIIF’s keen interest in exploring future collaboration with Gold Fields through knowledge sharing, capacity building, and other areas of mutual benefit.
