Azumah Resources is making waves in Ghana’s gold industry by turning to Danish mining technology giant FLSmidth, bringing advanced equipment and expertise to its Black Volta and Sankofa gold concessions. This bold move is set to raise the bar for efficiency and excellence in the country’s mining sector.
The deal, worth $37.5 million, covers a range of high-tech equipment, from crushers and SAG and ball mills to thickeners, pumps, and full processing plant systems. But it’s not just about machines. FLSmidth will also provide engineering support, installation, commissioning, staff training, and performance guarantees, giving Azumah access to world-class know-how.
After the signing, Noel Addo, Director of Azumah Resources, captured the excitement: “These items will take close to forty-six weeks to manufacture, so we need to pay for them now, while we start getting the other items as well, so that is the essence of today’s ceremony. FLS is well known in the mining industry, their presence alone gives us so much leverage.”
The timing couldn’t be better. This agreement follows Azumah’s $100 million acquisition of the Black Volta and Sankofa concessions, finally resolving months-long ownership disputes with former foreign shareholders. These disputes had slowed development and kept investors guessing, but now, the path is clear.
With equipment scheduled for delivery in 2026, construction and commissioning will move faster, putting Azumah on track to reach full production by 2027.
