    Prestea Sankofa aims to double gold output with Chinese firm

    Prestea Sankofa Gold Limited (PSGL) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Kingmamo Resources Holdings Company Limited, a Chinese investment firm. This agreement aims to triple Ghana's state-owned gold company's monthly gold production from 50 kilograms to between 100 and 150 kilograms. The signing took place on June 10, 2026, marking a significant step to revitalize PSGL.

    This partnership will provide much-needed technical expertise and modern mining equipment to PSGL. It will also offer operational support, essential for improving efficiency and driving long-term company growth. The goal is to address challenges from aging equipment that have hampered production.

    This collaboration fits into Ghana's broader economic goal of maximizing revenue from its natural resources. Increased gold production means more profits for PSGL and its parent company, the Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC). This directly translates into higher revenues for the Ghanaian government, supporting national development initiatives. Ghana's mining sector remains a key foreign exchange earner, making such improvements vital for economic stability.

    Alhaji Ishaq Dauda, Managing Director of Prestea Sankofa Gold Limited, highlighted the issues. He stated, "Look at the current state of the machines we have. It can take up to about 21 hours of maintenance." He expressed optimism that the partnership will significantly increase production. The Chairman of Kingmamo Resources Company Limited, Zhon Danhna, also known as Kofi Danny, confirmed that his company will provide advanced mining and tailings-processing equipment. Kingmamo will also train local workers to manage these new machines effectively.

    The next three to six months will involve finalizing all necessary arrangements for the partnership. This deal is expected to strengthen Ghana's mining sector and increase gold output. Decision-makers and markets will watch closely to see the impact on PSGL's operational efficiency and Ghana's gold export figures. Improved production will boost GNPC's profitability and Ghana's overall economic health.
