Ghana's Asanko Gold Mine Joins Mining in Motion as Bronze Sponsor
Asanko Gold Mine, operated by Canadian firm Galiano Gold, has joined the upcoming Mining in Motion Summit 2025 as a Bronze sponsor. The Summit is Ghana's premier event for the mining sector, taking place on June 2 - 4, 2025 in Accra.
As one of Ghana's key mining operations, Asanko Gold Mine plays a vital role in advancing local content development, environmental sustainability and increased gold production. Asanko Gold Mine's participation at the event underscores the company's long-term commitment to driving economic growth and job creation through a robust and responsible mining agenda.
Asanko Gold Mine will participate in high-level panel discussions, exclusive networking, and project showcases highlighting its investment strategy and impact on Ghana's mining sector, economy, and local communities.
The mine discovered a high-grade gold zone at the Abore Main pit, following a drilling campaign completed in May 2025 aimed at extending the life of its underground operations. In addition, the company continues to drill at its other open-pit sites; Nkran, Esaase, and Miradani North to further enhance production capacity.
On the local content front, Asanko Gold Mine contributes to employment creation, female empowerment and community development. With a workforce of over 2,200 - 99% of whom are Ghanaian - the company champions local capacity building. Through its Asanko Women in Mining initiative, the firm empowers women by providing training and promoting their inclusion across all levels of the mining sector, fostering a more diverse and equitable industry.
Asanko Gold Mine has also prioritized environmental stewardship. In 2023, the firm signed a clean power purchase agreement with the Volta River Authority to source 15MW of electricity for its operations from solar. The deal supports emissions reductions and aligns with sustainability goals within Ghana's Asante Kingdom.
Organized by the Ashanti Green Initiative – led by Oheneba Kwaku Duah, Prince of Ghana's Ashanti Kingdom – in collaboration with Ghana's Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources, World Bank, and the World Gold Council, with the support of Ghana's Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources, the summit offers unparalleled opportunities to connect with industry leaders.

Kuwait's MRC to start operations at steel recycling plant in 2025
The steel recycling plant of Kuwait-based Metal Recycling Company (MRC) is under construction and expected to begin operations this year. The disclosure was made in Kuwait- and Dubai-listed Agility Public Warehousing Company's sustainability report 2024. Once operational, the plant will have the capacity to recycle about 60,000 tonnes of scrap metal annually, thereby avoiding 20,000 to 90,000 tonnes of CO2e emissions each year. The company operates four out of five of Kuwait's medical incineration facilities, collectively processing 40 tonnes of waste daily — around 14,600 tonnes each year. MRC has also obtained a license for recycling used batteries, with operations set to start in 2025, the report stated. In 2024, the company was awarded a letter of award from the Kuwait National Petroleum Company to build a new spent catalyst metal reclamation facility in Kuwait. The facility will treat and reclaim precious metals from spent catalysts using a zero-waste process, reducing both the cross-border transportation of hazardous waste and its associated carbon footprint. The facility is expected to be operational in the coming years, the report added. (Writing by P Deol; Editing by Anoop Menon) (

Gold falls as traders watch US-China trade talks in London
Gold declined on Tuesday as market participants awaited further developments from ongoing U.S.-China trade talks in London, with negotiations extending into a second day. Spot gold fell 0.5% to $3,311.16 an ounce, as of 0125 GMT. U.S. gold futures also fell 0.7% to $3,330.90. High-level trade talks between the U.S. and Chinese officials are extending into a second day, with discussions encompassing issues ranging from tariffs to rare earth restrictions. "With these key the U.S.-China trade talks still in the works, gold is trading reservedly until we see what if any progress is made between the two global superpowers," said Tim Waterer, chief market analyst at KCM Trade. U.S. President Donald Trump said his administration was "doing well" in the negotiations and noted positive reports from the talks. Last month, both sides agreed to a temporary pause tariffs, offering some relief to financial markets. "If traders come away from the U.S.-China talks this week thinking that the two nations remain on track to achieve a broader trade deal, safe-haven demand for assets such as gold could ease." Data from China showed export growth slowed to a three-month low in May as U.S. tariffs impacted shipments, while factory-gate deflation worsened to its deepest level in two years. Meanwhile, investors are now awaiting U.S. inflation data on Wednesday for more cues on the Federal Reserve's monetary policy path. "If CPI has ticked marginally higher that would be an expected result, but if it jumps then that could raise some alarm bells for investors, and any resulting flight to safety could help the gold price," Waterer said. Gold gains appeal during uncertain geopolitical and economic times and tends to do well when interest rates are low. Elsewhere, spot silver was down 0.6% to $36.51 per ounce, platinum dropped 0.8% to $1,210.46, while palladium fell 0.2% to $1,071.75.
