The Ahafo Gold Mine is located approximately 380 kilometres northwest of Ghana’s national capital city of Accra. The Ahafo North Project is a greenfield development located some 30 kilometres northeast of Newmont’s existing Ahafo operations, referred to as Ahafo South.
Lycopodium’s involvement since inception on the Ahafo North Project includes the initial study work, the advancement of engineering design to prepare for the procurement of long lead items and the development of a detailed project execution plan, schedule and capital cost estimate.
With onsite works commencing in Q1 2023, the development encompasses a series of open-pits with a 3.4 Mtpa process plant (3.7 Mtpa on softer oxide ores) using conventional carbon-in-leach (CIL) technology. The project is scheduled for completion in H2 2025.
