  • $65mn Trafigura deal revives historic Ghana gold mine
  • New financing model reshapes African mining partnerships

 

ACCRA, GHANA – A $65 million financing and offtake deal in Ghana’s gold sector is emerging as a test case for how African mining could be funded, owned, and traded.

The agreement between global commodities trader Trafigura and Heath Goldfields centres on the restart of the Bogoso–Prestea mine — one of West Africa’s oldest gold operations — and signals a broader shift in how capital, control, and supply chains are being restructured across the continent.
