Azumah Resources

Azumah Resources Ghana Ltd has officially transitioned into full Ghanaian ownership and management, following the successful completion of a $100 million acquisition by Engineers & Planners Company Limited (E&P) marking one of the most significant takeovers in Ghana’s mining sector in recent years. 

In a formal statement issued, the Board of Directors of Azumah Resources Ghana Ltd confirmed that all negotiations had been completed and that the transaction was fully settled, giving E&P a Ghanaian-owned mining and construction conglomerate total ownership of Azumah’s assets, including the Black Volta and Sankofa Gold Projects. 

“The Board of Directors of Azumah Resources Ghana Ltd wishes to formally announce that the company is now under new ownership and management. 

“This follows the successful completion of negotiations and full settlement by the new shareholder, Engineers & Planners Company Limited, which has paid an amount totalling One Hundred Million United States Dollars (US$100,000,000.00) in exchange for all rights and interests in the Black Volta and Sankofa Gold Projects.”

The deal, according to the company, represents the final phase of the equity transfer process, officially cementing Azumah’s transition into wholly Ghanaian ownership and control.

New Management and Governance Structure

Following the completion of the transaction, Azumah’s Board of Directors has been reconstituted to reflect the new ownership structure.  

All former foreign directors have formally resigned, paving the way for a new Ghanaian management team to assume full responsibility for the company’s strategic and operational direction.

“The Board and Management will immediately begin engagements with statutory regulators and relevant third-party entities to ensure a smooth transition in full compliance with Ghanaian law and the regulations governing the mining sector.”

This move, analysts note, is emblematic of a broader shift toward indigenous participation and control in Ghana’s mining industry, where historically, foreign-owned entities have dominated gold exploration and production. 

In his remarks, Noel Nii Addo, Chief Executive Officer of Azumah Resources Ghana Ltd, described the acquisition as a “defining moment” for the company and for Ghana’s mining sector at large. 

“The conclusion of this transaction and the restructuring of the board mark a defining moment for Azumah Resources Ghana Ltd. 

“We are confident that the new management and shareholders have the capacity, integrity, and commitment to advance the Black Volta and Sankofa projects in line with Ghana’s highest standards of governance and sustainability.”

He emphasized that the new ownership would bring a renewed sense of purpose, accountability, and national pride to Azumah’s operations, with E&P’s proven expertise expected to accelerate project development. 

Commitment to Sustainable Development

Azumah reaffirmed its commitment to advancing both the Black Volta and Sankofa Gold Projects in a responsible, transparent, and sustainable manner, emphasizing that community engagement and environmental stewardship will remain at the core of its operations. 

“The company aims to deliver measurable value for the people of the Upper West Region, the Government and people of Ghana, and its shareholder, Engineers & Planners Company Limited.” 

Azumah Resources Ghana Ltd

E&P, owned by Ghanaian business magnate Ibrahim Mahama, has been expanding its footprint in the extractive industry over the past decade.  

The company’s acquisition of Azumah Resources Ghana follows its recent investments in large-scale mining operations and infrastructure development across Ghana and West Africa. 

E&P’s entry into Azumah’s gold assets aligns with the government’s broader policy push to deepen local participation in natural resource ownership and management, ensuring that Ghanaians benefit directly from the country’s mineral wealth. 

The Black Volta and Sankofa Gold Projects, situated in the Upper West Region, are among Ghana’s most promising undeveloped gold reserves.  

The Black Volta concession, in particular, is believed to hold high-grade deposits that could transform the region into a major mining hub. 

With E&P’s financial strength and operational expertise, the company is expected to accelerate the development of these concessions, create hundreds of local jobs, and enhance revenue inflows to the state through royalties and taxes. 

The successful completion of the acquisition has positioned Azumah Resources Ghana Ltd as a model for Ghanaian-led mining enterprise, a rare example of full domestic ownership in a sector often dominated by multinational corporations. 

As the restructured board begins work, Azumah’s new leadership has pledged to operate transparently, uphold global best practices, and deliver shared value to all stakeholders from host communities to government partners.
