CORRECTION: MKS PAMP to Participate at Mining in Motion as Bronze Sponsor
Taking place on June 2 - 4, 2025 in Accra, the summit will serve as a platform for MKS PAMP to showcase its growing contributions to Ghana's mining sector, particularly its support for responsible and inclusive gold supply chains.
As a sponsor, MKS PAMP will take part in high-level panel discussions, highlighting innovative financing models aimed at empowering Ghana's artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM) sector.
Through its partnership with the Bank of Ghana, MKS PAMP is actively supporting ASGM operators by helping small-scale miners transition into the formal gold market, ensuring they benefit from global trading standards while enhancing traceability and compliance.
In addition to supporting small-scale miners, MKS PAMP also works with large-scale operators to reinforce transparency across the value chain. In a notable collaboration with Newmont Corporation - which operates the Ahafo and Akyem Mines in Ghana - MKS PAMP launched mine-to-market traceable gold bars. The solution enables consumers to track the origin of their gold while offering regulators and stakeholders confidence in the transparency and ethical sourcing of monetized resources.
At Mining in Motion, MKS PAMP will delve deeper into these contributions through participation in exclusive networking sessions and project showcases, engaging with local, regional, and international partners. The firm's participation at Mining in Motion reflects a broader commitment to supporting sustainable development, responsible sourcing, and emerging investment opportunities within Ghana's expanding gold sector.
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.
Stay informed about the latest advancements, network with industry leaders, and engage in critical discussions on key issues impacting small-scale miners and medium- to large-scale mining in Ghana.

Titanium miner Kenmare urges decision on Mozambique rights renewal
Titanium miner Kenmare Resources said on Wednesday it could seek arbitration over delays to an extension of its mining rights in Mozambique. The Dublin-headquartered company owns the Moma Titanium Minerals mine on the north-east coast of Mozambique, mainly producing ilmenite. The mineral is a source of titanium dioxide used mainly in industrial paints and coatings as well as in electronic equipment, packaging, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. Kenmare said it has been in inconclusive talks with the Mozambican authorities since 2022 to renew a 20-year mining and export agreement that lapsed in December 2024. "We are concerned at the continued extension of this process," Kenmare managing director Tom Hickey said in a statement. "While we remain hopeful of a successful conclusion to negotiations, we reserve the right to safeguard Kenmare's contractual entitlements, up to and including arbitration, if an agreement cannot be reached," he added. Hickey told Reuters in an interview that the royalty rate was a major hurdle in agreeing new terms. "We've been told, when this agreement went to the Council of Ministers back in March, the royalty was the principal sticking point," Hickey said. "We have made a proposal that we hope will be seen as satisfactory to address that, but we just want a conclusion," he added. The Mozambican government was not immediately available to comment. Kenmare's proposals include a phased increase in the royalty rate from 2.5% in 2025 to 3.5% over the course of the 20-year agreement, a withholding tax on payments to non-Mozambican suppliers as well as further capital investments and contributions to community development projects. On Wednesday, Kenmare reported $160 million of mineral sales in the six months to June 30, a 3% increase on the same period last year. Weak prices in an oversupplied market slashed its half-year profit by 71% to $6.1 million.

E& and regional telcos unite for GCC's first sustainability hackathon to fast-track greener networks
Abu Dhabi, UAE – e&, global technology group and founding member of the GCC Sustainability Innovation Hub, joins forces with the region's top telecom operators to launch the first GCC Sustainability Hackathon, a high-intensity challenge designed to uncover the next wave of green technology breakthroughs and rethink how regional networks are built, powered, and maintained. The inaugural hackathon invites innovators, solution providers, and startups to compete across three high-impact tracks: AI-driven energy efficiency to create smarter networks that cut power consumption; e-waste management to transform telecom waste and discarded hardware into high-value resources; and renewable energy solutions to scale clean power for towers and data centres. 'By uniting the GCC's strongest networks and brightest talent, we can turn prototypes into region-wide change in months, not years,' said Mohamed H Almarzooqi, Sr. Vice President/Access Network, e& international. 'The ideas born here could be the catalyst to rethink how telecom networks are built and powered, helping us cut costs, slash emissions, and set new benchmarks for sustainable connectivity — making the UAE's and the region's net-zero ambitions a reality, faster.' Competing for valuable prizes across the three tracks, participants will work against the clock to design and present solutions that have a measurable environmental impact. The best ideas will be presented live during a special event hosted by stc Group in Riyadh. Registration is open until 1 September via the stc Group's online platform. Submissions will be evaluated from September 2 to 16 by a judging panel representing all participating telcos. Finalists will present their ideas live in Riyadh from September 14 to 16, and winners will be announced at a ceremony on September 17. Andrew Dunnett, Group Senior Vice President of Sustainability, e&, said: 'Meeting net-zero targets cannot be about incremental change; it's all about accelerating the best ideas to full-scale adoption. And this Sustainability Hackathon brings our industry together to do exactly that. It gives innovators a platform to deliver solutions that pull innovation through procurement, standardise what 'good' looks like, and give startups a pathway from pilot to portfolio, proving that sustainable networks are a performance advantage, not a trade-off.' This initiative stems from the GCC Sustainability Innovation Hub – a seven-member alliance, formed in the wake of COP28 commitments, by e&, Beyon, du, Ooredoo, Omantel, stc Group, and Zain to establish region-wide procurement standards for green technology, and accelerate renewable energy adoption across 39 subsidiaries in 33 countries, guiding the GCC towards a unified net-zero framework. The hackathon builds on the GCC Sustainability Innovation Hub's regional track record in cutting network energy use, deploying renewables, and reducing e-waste – now aiming to harness regional talent to scale breakthroughs faster and accelerate those gains through innovation. For e&, this event builds on a broader portfolio of sustainability initiatives, including commitments to reach net-zero emissions (Scopes 1 & 2) by 2030 in the UAE and by 2040 across all operations, the publication of e& Climate Transition Plan, a roadmap to how the group plans to meet its targets, the launch of Project Life to reduce Scope 3 emissions, the introduction of eco-friendly recycled SIM cards, and the deployment of the region's first net-zero 5G Massive MIMO site powered entirely by renewables. e& also offers 'Sustainability-as-a-Service' solutions that enable enterprises to meet their ESG goals using IoT, AI, and automation. The GCC has the talent, the networks, and the urgency, and this hackathon is a standing invitation to turn that into impact and set a global benchmark for sustainable telecom. About e& e& is a global technology group committed to advancing the digital future across markets in the Middle East, Asia, Africa and Europe. With the group's financial performance in 2024 showing a consolidated revenue of AED 59.2 billion and a net profit of AED 10.8 billion, e& continues to maintain its position as a financial powerhouse, reflected by its strong credit rating and solid balance sheet.

Liberia: The Ministry of Finance and Development Planning (MFDP) Launches New Strategic Planning Process to support ARREST Agenda for Inclusive Development (AAID) Implementation
The Ministry of Finance and Development Planning (MFDP) has officially embarked on the development of its new five-year strategic plan, designed to align closely with the Government of Liberia's ARREST Agenda for Inclusive Development. Acting Finance and Development Planning Minister, Hon. Anthony G. Myers, who also serves as Deputy Minister for Fiscal Affairs, said the plan will serve as a roadmap to strengthen the Ministry's role as the steward of Liberia's national development strategy. 'This new plan will build on the lessons of the 2019–2023 strategic framework, looking at what worked, what fell short, and what needs to be scaled up or reformed,' Minister Myers explained. 'The overall goal of the MFDP for the next five years is to strengthen the capacity of our workforce so that we can effectively deliver on our core mandate.' He emphasized that a refreshed approach is necessary due to the many changes in the Ministry's functions and mandate since its merger with the Ministry of Planning&Economic Affairs in 2013. 'A lot has changed administratively, legally, and regulatorily. We now need a strategic perspective that allows us to better coordinate, facilitate, and implement the ARREST Agenda over the next five years,' he noted. Earlier at the launch, Deputy Finance Minister for Administration, Hon. Bill McGill Jones, outlined the planning process and urged full participation from departmental heads and unit leaders. 'Sit with the core planning team and consultants, share your priorities, and ensure your voice is part of this process,' he said. 'As a team, our focus must remain on improving the lives of all Liberians, addressing challenges such as poverty, unemployment, weak infrastructure, and limited access to quality education and healthcare.' The new strategic plan will not only align with national priorities under the ARREST Agenda but also reinforce the MFDP's central role in shaping inclusive growth and sustainable development across Liberia. The launch brought together Deputy Ministers, Assistant Ministers, Directors, and Assistant Directors from across the Ministry, symbolizing a unified step toward a stronger and more responsive MFDP.
