PRESS STATEMENT FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

JULY 8th, 2025

Source:Media

The Story of the Acquisition of Azumah 1. The government of Ghana gave a lease to Azumah Resources Ghana Ltd in respect of a gold concession in the Upper West Region in 1992. The company is owned by an Australian company. 2. From 1992 till 2022, the company was unable to commence any significant exploration activities on the land, contrary to the terms of the lease agreement. 3. By 2022, the company was indebted to the GHANA REVENUE AUTHORITY and Minerals Commission to the tune of over $5 million. 4. The Ghana Revenue Authority had obtained a judgment in both the High Court and the Court of Appeal against the company and was going to sell the assets of the company. 5. Gold price was low and so the owners of the company wanted to sell what was left of the company and for the new owner to deal with all the risk with GRA and The Minerals Commission. 6. Additionally, the political instability in neighbouring Burkina Faso posed an elevated risk for any more investments in that sub region. 7. In May 2023, the shareholders approached E&P, offering to sell the project to E&P for $100 million 8. E&P accepted the offer and the risk, despite the value of the project being estimated at less than $80 million. 9. The Project Acquisition and Development Agreement was signed by the shareholders of Azumah and E&P on 9th October 2023 at the Roman Ridge, Accra offices of E&P. 10. Per the agreement, the $100 million was to be paid in two equal instalments of US$ 50 million on by June 2024 and June 2026..... #Mining #Ghana #IbrahimMahama #DzataCement #EngineersAndPlanners #Philanthropist

JULY 7th, 2025

Engineers & Planners (E&P), under the leadership of CEO Ibrahim Mahama, have completed a landmark acquisition of the Black Volta Gold Project, securing 100% Ghanaian ownership of the large-scale mining asset. With this acquisition, E&P—led by businessman and philanthropist Ibrahim Mahama—ushers in a new era where Ghanaian expertise, capital, and management can drive the mining industry. This sets a powerful precedent for local empowerment and sends a clear message that Ghanaians can compete and thrive in capital-intensive industries traditionally dominated by external players. E&P’s full takeover marks a groundbreaking milestone—this is the first fully Ghanaian-owned large-scale gold mining venture, redefining Ghana’s position in the resource economy. “We have made history for Ghanaian mining,” said Ibrahim Mahama. “This is not just a personal victory or a business transaction. It is a national milestone that proves Ghanaians are capable of leading world-class ventures in mining.” Sir Sam Jonah, a seasoned mining executive, added: “This deal was sealed on merit—no shortcuts, no influence. It is a shining example of what local capacity, backed by vision and discipline, can achieve.” #Mining #Ghana #IbrahimMahama #DzataCement #EngineersAndPlanners #Philanthropist
