Accra: Prestea Sankofa Gold Limited (PSGL), a state-owned subsidiary of the Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC), has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Kingmamo Resources Holdings Company Limited, a Chinese investment firm, in a major step toward revitalizing the mining company and enhancing its production capacity.
According to Ghana Web, the agreement was signed on June 10, 2026, and is expected to provide technical expertise, modern mining equipment, and operational support to improve efficiency and drive long-term growth at the company. Speaking at the signing ceremony, Managing Director of Prestea Sankofa Gold Limited, Alhaji Ishaq Dauda, highlighted the challenges facing the company due to ageing equipment and expressed optimism about the impact of the partnership. He noted that the company currently produces approximately 50 kilograms of gold per month but is targeting an increase to between 100 and 150 kilograms monthly once the new equipment and technical support are fully deployed.
Alhaji Dauda emphasized that increased production would not only improve the fortunes of the company but also contribute positively to Ghana's economy through higher revenues and profits. Chairman of Kingmamo Resources Company Limited, Zhon Danhna, popularly known as Kofi Danny, stated that the company would introduce advanced mining and tailings-processing equipment to support Sankofa's operations, and train local workers to manage the machines effectively.
